<title>X Window System Environment</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>This chapter contains instructions to build and configure a graphical
|
|
user environment. You will need to choose one of the three packages in BLFS
|
|
that implements the <application>X Window System</application>:
|
|
<application>Xorg</application> X11R6 or X11R7 (<xref linkend="xorg"/> or
|
|
<xref linkend="xorg7"/>), or <application>XFree86</application>
|
|
(<xref linkend="xfree86"/>). These packages are all quite similar. In fact,
|
|
the base system of <application>Xorg</application> is
|
|
<application>XFree86</application>-4.4.0RC2. Differences in the licensing
|
|
philosophies was the original reason for the split.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>A second reason for the forking of <application>X</application>
|
|
packages is the stated goals of the developers. Some developers were unhappy
|
|
with the administration and progress of <application>XFree86</application>.
|
|
The X.org Foundation's future plans include significant improvements to the
|
|
internals of the system and more frequent releases.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><application>Xorg</application>-&xorg7-version; introduces a completely
|
|
autotooled build system, but is otherwise the same codebase as
|
|
<application>Xorg</application>-&xorg-version;. Most large commercial
|
|
distributions have decided to use the <application>Xorg</application>
|
|
package, but several still provide <application>XFree86</application>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><application>XFree86</application> continues to be a solid,
|
|
conservative application with excellent driver support.</para>
