<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 two packages in BLFS
|
|
that implements the <application>X Window System</application>:
|
|
<application>Xorg</application> X11R7 (<xref linkend="xorg7"/>), or
|
|
<application>XFree86</application> (<xref linkend="xfree86"/>). The
|
|
functionality of these two packages is quite similar. In fact,
|
|
the base system of <application>Xorg</application> was derived from the
|
|
<application>XFree86</application>-4.4.0RC2 code (note that the
|
|
<application>Xorg</application> build system has changed, but the underlying
|
|
core code is the same). 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 which means that the packages build and install
|
|
using the conventional <command>configure</command>, <command>make</command>
|
|
and <command>make install</command> commands, but it now requires installing
|
|
more than 100 different packages. 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>
