<title>Introduction to <application>X.org</application></title>
|
|
|
|
<note><para>There are two packages in BLFS that implement the <application>X</application>
|
|
Window System: <application>X.org</application> and <application>XFree86</application>.
|
|
These packages are quite similar. In fact the base system of <application>X.org</application>
|
|
is <application>XFree86</application>-RC2. The primary difference as of this writing is
|
|
the license provisions of the packages. For someone building a package for their own use,
|
|
these issues are not significant. Most large commercial distributions have decided
|
|
to use the <application>X.org</application> package, but several still use
|
|
<application>XFree86</application>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>A second reason for the forking of X packages is the stated goals of the
|
|
developers. Some developers were unhappy with the administration and progress of
|
|
<application>XFree86</application>. X.org's future plans include significant
|
|
improvements to the internals of the system and more frequent releases.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><application>XFree86</application> continues to be a solid, conservitive
|
|
application with excellent driver support.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Both <application>X.org</application> and <application>XFree86</application>
|
|
can be installed in the same way, but this section will provide a slightly
|
|
different and more current variation for installation.</para>
|
|
</note>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<para><application>X.org</application> is a freely redistributable open-source
|
|
implementation of the <application>X</application> Window System.
|
|
This application 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 (<acronym>API</acronym>).</para>
