A user on #xorg pointed out these today I'd forgotten about:

http://tldp.org/HOWTO/XWindow-User-HOWTO/index.html
(definitely aged, but many basics are the same if you s/XFree86/Xorg/)

http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Text-Terminal-HOWTO.html
(some sections have overlap - such as virtual consoles and terminal emulation
ala xterm)

We've also got some ancient developers scrolls at:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-0279/serverintro-91783?l=en&a=browse
but a lot of that is specific to the old Xsun server.
