Description :
The X Window System provides the base technology for developing
graphical user interfaces. Simply stated, X draws the elements
of the GUI on the user\'s screen and builds methods for sending
user interactions back to the application. X also supports remote
application deployment--running an application on another computer
while viewing the input/output on your machine. X is a powerful
environment which supports many different applications, such as
games, programming tools, graphics programs, text editors, etc.
XFree86 is the version of X which runs on Linux, as well as on other
platforms.
This package contains the basic fonts, programs and documentation
for an X workstation. However, this package doesn\'t provide the
program which you will need to drive your video hardware. To
control your video card, you\'ll need the particular X server
package which corresponds to your computer\'s video card.
Additionally, you will need to install the Xconfigurator package, the xfs
X font server package and the XFree86-libs package.
You may also need to install one or more of the XFree86 fonts packages.
And finally, if you are going to develop applications that run as
X clients, you will also need to install XFree86-devel.
