Description :
If you want to install the X Window System (TM) on
your machine, you\'ll need to install XFree86.
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 other platforms.
This package contains the basic fonts, programs and documentation
for an X workstation. You will also need the XFree86-server
package, which contains the program which drives your video
hardware.
In addition to installing this package, you will need to install the
drakxtools package to configure your card using XFdrake. You may also
need to install one 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 libxfree86-devel.
