right, once again, about his assumption.

Xlib also is nothing but a "3rd party library". But you can directly
connect to the Xserver without using Xlib. A few weeks ago Linux
assembly code was posted here to open a Window. Now you can be the pioneer
and find out the rest (output text and graphics, get mouse and keyboard events).

here is the X11 protocol documentation:

see the core protocol.
