    Which socket numbers does X11 use for client-server communication?

I don't know what a "socket number" is.  When using X11 over TCP,
TCP port (6000 + N) is used, where N is the display number.  I
forget exactly how many were registered with the TCP authority.

    If so where is this written down?

See the Connection Setup section of the protocol specification
(page 553 in the DP book).
