X.Org Server (xorg-server) is an open source and freely distributed implementation of the X Window System (X.Org), provided by the X.Org Foundation, specially designed for the GNU\/Linux operating system.<\/p>\n
Key features include input hotplug, KDrive, DTrace and EXA. It’s designed to run on many UNIX-like operating systems, including most Linux distributions and BSD variants it. It is also the default X server for the Solaris operating system.<\/p>\n
X.Org Server is part of the X.Org software, the popular and powerful X Window System used in many POSIX operating systems, including almost all GNU\/Linux distributions, as well as some BSD and Solaris flavors. The software was originally forked from the XFree86 project.<\/p>\n
This is a very important and essential component of all Linux kernel-based operating systems that run a graphical desktop environment or a window manager. Without X.Org and X.Org Server, you will only be able to use a distro from the command-line.<\/p>\n
Of course, this means that it is installed by default in all these GNU\/Linux distributions, without exception. If you remove this package from your installation, you won\u2019t be able to access the graphical environment anymore.<\/p>\n
Many people get confused about these two essential components of a Linux distribution that uses a graphical session, but one should know that X.Org (X Window System) is the display server and X.Org Server is the X Window System implementation that contains several other projects, such as XCB and Xlib.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, X.Org Foundation is the organization that governs these two projects. The X.Org (X Window System) packages are freely available for download on Softpedia.<\/p>\n
