Just read the source is the most comprehensive resource currently available.

Basicly thats that. Nano-X sets up underlying hardware, like mouse,
keyboard,
display, etc. and creates socket for client apps to connect to. After
that it just spins
forever waiting (in GsSelect()) for somekind of event to happen (eg. mouse
movement, mouse click, keyboard read, client request via socket, etc.).
See nanox/srvmain.c main().
After event occurs it dispatches it to appropriate handler - driver, or
window if event
is for client app.
This is rough rundown, to get better insight I suggest you hook up
debugger and
step through the code (server and/or client).
