<para>XFree86 is a freely redistributable open-source implementation of the
|
|
|
|
|
X Window System. XFree86 provides a client/server interface between display
|
|
|
|
|
hardware (the mouse, keyboard, and video displays) and the desktop environment
|
|
|
|
|
while also providing both the windowing infrastructure and a standardized
|
|
|
|
|
application interface (API).
