Should I share the X server connection?

Thu Nov 11 08:00:36 PST 2010

Hi All,

I am developping a C application which show several video streams. I have a
thread per video stream
and I update each image calling to XvShmPutImage. I use a different Xv port
in each thread. Currently
I am using a X server connection per thread. Should I share it?
Should I call to XLockDisplay/XUnLockDisplay? As soon as I am not sharing
the connection, I guess I shouldn't lock.

Thanks

Paco
