| Summary : Part of the XFree86 implementation of the X Window System.
|
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. 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.
In addition to installing this package, you will need to install
the XFree86 package which corresponds to your video card, the
X11R6-contrib package, the Xconfigurator package and the XFree86-libs
package. 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 XFree86-devel.
