<title>X Window System Environment</title>
<para>This chapter contains instructions to build and configure a graphical
user environment.</para>
<para><application>Xorg</application>, in addition to clearing up some
licensing issues with <ulink url="http://www.xfree86.org/">XFree86</ulink>,
introduced a completely autotooled build for the X Window system. This
means that the packages build and install using the conventional
<command>configure</command>, <command>make</command> and <command>make
install</command> commands, as opposed to a proprietary build system that
requied hand editing of configuration parameters in a C-like syntax.</para>
<para><application>Xorg</application> also brought with it a modular build
system. While this separation into modules resulted in full control of the
features available to the X server on any given installation, it also made
the installation more tedious as it requires installing more than 100
different packages to obtain a functional X Window environment. Most large
commercial distributions have elected to use <application>Xorg</application>
over the <application>XFree86</application> distribution due to both
licensing issues and the increased functionality provided by it over
<application>XFree86</application>.</para>
