XFree86 and Xorg are Implementations of this protocol consisting of many software items of which the most prominent one is the X server. Xorg is forked from XFree86's codebase. There are other X Server implementations available, e.g. the tinyX-Server (it's integrated the XFree Codebase), which is now known as the kdrive-Framework based XServer http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fXserver There are X Servers for Windows as well. Most of them are commercial but cygwin has an implementation which also started in the XFree codebase and now changed to use the Xorg codebase. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X11 has a lot of information, too. -hwh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
