Two of the early leaders of the X Window System community were
lost to cancer this year — Smokey Wallace, who led the DEC
WSL team which created the initial implementation of X11, and
Hideki Hiura from Sun Microsystems who helped design the X11R6
internationalization framework. This release is dedicated to
their memory.
</em></span></p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="id2468494"></a>Introduction to the X11R7.6 Release</h2></div></div></div><p>
This release is the seventh modular release of the
<span class="productname">X Window System</span>™.
The next full release will be X11R7.7 and is expected in
2011.
</p><p>
Unlike X11R1 through X11R6.9, X11R7.x releases are not built from one
monolithic source tree, but many individual modules. These modules
are distributed as individual source code releases, and each one is
released when it is ready, instead of only when the overall window
system is ready for release. The X11R7.x releases are made by
“rolling up” the individual module releases into a
collection that is often affectionately called the
“<span class="foreignphrase"><em class="foreignphrase">katamari</em></span>” by the developers.
</p><p>
The X11R7.6 release does not include all of the software
formerly included in the previous X Window System releases.
It is designed to be a reasonable baseline from which to start
when building the window system for the first time for a new
installation, distribution, or package set. It does not provide
a full desktop environment, expecting a more feature rich set of
applications to be installed from one of the several excellent
desktop environments available for the X Window System. The
X.Org developers continue to maintain and produce new releases
of much of the software that was formerly in the main window
system releases but is no longer included in the katamari
releases, including many of the Athena Widgets desktop
applications that were provided as samples in previous window
system versions.
</p><p>
Once their window system build is established, most builders watch for
announcements of individual module updates on the <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-announce" target="_top">xorg-announce mailing list</a> and update to those as needed.
The X.Org Foundation currently releases the X Window System
katamari releases approximately once a year, but many modules,
especially the X servers and drivers, are updated more frequently
between those releases.
</p><p>
For help with how to build and develop in the modular tree see the
Developer's Guide</a> in the X.Org wiki.
</p><p>
We encourage you to report bugs using
bug tracking system</a> using the xorg product, and to
submit bug fixes and enhancements to
<code class="email"><<a href="mailto:xorg-devel@lists.x.org">xorg-devel@lists.x.org</a>></code>.
More details on patch submission and review process are available on the
SubmittingPatches</a> page of the X.Org wiki.
</p><p>
The release numbering is based on the original MIT X numbering system.
X11 refers to the version of the network protocol that the X Window
system is based on: Version 11 was first released in 1988 and has been
stable for 22 years, with only upward compatible additions to the core X
protocol, a record of stability envied in computing. Formal releases of
X started with X version 9 from MIT; the first commercial X products
were based on X version 10. The MIT X Consortium and its successors,
the X Consortium, the Open Group X Project Team, and the X.Org Group
released versions X11R3 through X11R6.6. Since the founding of the
X.Org Foundation in early 2004, many further releases have been
issued, from X11R6.7 to the current 7.6.
</p><p>
The next section describes what is new in the latest full release
(7.6) compared with the previous full release
(7.5).

This is a sampling of the new features in X11R7.6.
A more complete list of changes can be found in the ChangeLog files that
are part of the source of each X module.

is now included in the katamari, and is required by several
client-side modules, including
<code class="systemitem">libX11</code>,
<span><strong class="command">xlsatoms</strong></span>, <span><strong class="command">xlsclients</strong></span>
and <span><strong class="command">xwininfo</strong></span>.
XCB is a replacement for Xlib featuring a small footprint,
latency hiding, direct access to the protocol, improved threading
support, and extensibility. More information can be found on
the XCB website at <a href="http://xcb.freedesktop.org/" target="_top">http://xcb.freedesktop.org/</a>.
</p></li><li><p>
Major progress has been made on the X.Org Documentation
modernization - most of the library and protocol specifications
are now included in the modules for those libraries and protocols
so they can be updated in sync with new versions, and many have
been converted to DocBook XML from the variety of formats they
were previously in. On most systems these documents will be

On most platforms, X11R7.6 has a single hardware-driving
X server binary called <span><strong class="command">Xorg</strong></span>. This binary can
dynamically load the video drivers, input drivers, and other modules
that are needed.
<span><strong class="command">Xorg</strong></span> has currently has support for Linux, Solaris,
and some BSD OSs on Alpha, PowerPC, IA-64, AMD64, Intel x86, Sparc,
and MIPS platforms.
</p><p>
Additional specialized X server binaries may be found depending on
the platform and build configuration, including:
</p><div class="glosslist"><dl><dt><span><strong class="command">Xdmx</strong></span></dt><dd><p>
is a proxy X server that uses one or more other X servers as its
display devices. It provides multi-head X functionality for
displays that might be located on different machines.
</p></dd><dt><span><strong class="command">Xnest</strong></span></dt><dd><p>
is a nested X server, that operates as both an X client and X
server. <span><strong class="command">Xnest</strong></span> is a client of the real server
which manages windows and graphics requests on its behalf.
<span><strong class="command">Xnest</strong></span> is a server to its own clients, and
manages windows and graphics requests on their behalf.
To these clients, it appears to be a conventional server.
</p></dd><dt><span><strong class="command">Xephyr</strong></span></dt><dd><p>
is a X server that outputs to a window on a pre-existing
“host” X display. Unlike <span><strong class="command">Xnest</strong></span>
which is an X proxy, and thus limited to the capabilities of
the host X server, <span><strong class="command">Xephyr</strong></span> is a full X server
which uses the host X server window as a
“framebuffer” via fast SHM XImages.
</p></dd><dt><span><strong class="command">Xvfb</strong></span></dt><dd><p>
is a virtual framebuffer X server that can run on machines with
no display hardware and no physical input devices. It emulates
a dumb framebuffer using virtual memory.
</p></dd><dt><span><strong class="command">Xquartz</strong></span></dt><dd><p>
is an X server that interacts with the MacOS X native Aqua window
system, displaying windows on the Mac desktop and accepting
input from the Mac system devices, allowing X11 applications
to be used in a native Mac desktop session.
</p></dd><dt><span><strong class="command">Xwin</strong></span></dt><dd><p>
is an X server that runs under the Cygwin environment,

The Xorg server relies on the operating system's native
module loader support for handling program modules. The X
server makes use of modules for video drivers, X server
extensions, input device drivers, framebuffer layers, and
internal components used by some drivers (like XAA & EXA).
</p><p>
The module interfaces (both API and ABI) used in this release are
subject to change without notice. While we will attempt to provide
backward compatibility for the module interfaces, we cannot
guarantee this. Compatibility in the other direction is explicitly
not guaranteed because new modules may rely on interfaces added in
new releases.
</p><div class="warning" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note about module security</h3><p>The X server runs with root privileges, i.e.,
the X server loadable modules also run with these privileges.
For this reason we recommend that all users be careful to only
use loadable modules from reliable sources, otherwise the
introduction of viruses and contaminated code can occur and
wreak havoc on your system. We hope to have a mechanism for
future release.
</p></div></div><div class="sect3" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a id="config"></a>Configuration File</h4></div></div></div><p>
The Xorg server uses a configuration file as the primary mechanism
for providing configuration and run-time parameters. The configuration

</p><p>
Note that this release features significant improvements
for running the server without a configuration file, so many users
may find that that they don't need a configuration file.
</p><p>
If you do need to customize the configuration file, see the <a href="xorg.conf.5.html" target="_top">xorg.conf manual page</a> . You can also
check the driver-specific manual pages and the related
documentation (found at <a href="#drivertables">driver tables</a>) also.
</p><p>
The recommended method for generating a configuration file is to use
the Xorg server itself. Run as root:
</p><pre class="screen">
Xorg -configure

and follow the instructions.

One of the main problems is with drivers not sufficiently
initializing cards that were not initialized at boot time. This
has been improved somewhat with the INT10 support that is used by
most drivers (which allows secondary card to be "soft-booted", but
in some cases there are other issues that still need to be

which card is the primary card (either by using a different PCI
slot, or by changing the system BIOS's preference for the primary
card).

<em class="firstterm">Xinerama</em> is an X server extension that
allows multiple physical screens connected to multiple video devices
to behave as a single screen. With traditional multi-head in X11,
windows cannot span or cross physical screens. Xinerama removes this
limitation. Xinerama does, however, require that the physical screens
all have the same root depth, so it isn't possible, for example, to use
an 8-bit screen together with a 16-bit screen in Xinerama mode.
</p><p>
Xinerama is not enabled by default, and can be enabled with the
<code class="option">+xinerama</code> command line option for the X server.
Note that enabling Xinerama may disable certain other extensions
which are not compatible with Xinerama.
</p></div><div class="sect3" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a id="id2529673"></a>DDC</h4></div></div></div><p>
The <span class="acronym">VESA</span>® Display Data Channel
(<span class="acronym"><span class="trademark">DDC</span>™</span>) standard allows
the monitor to tell the video card (or in some cases the
computer directly) about itself; particularly the supported
screen resolutions and refresh rates.
</p><p>
Partial or complete DDC support is available in most of the video
drivers. DDC is enabled by default, but can be disabled with a
"Device" section entry: <code class="literal">Option
"NoDDC"</code>. We have support for DDC versions 1 and 2; these
can be disabled independently with <code class="literal">Option
"NoDDC1"</code> and <code class="literal">Option
"NoDDC2"</code>.
</p><p>
At startup the server prints out DDC information from the display,
and can use this information to set the default monitor parameters,
or to warn about monitor sync limits if those provided in the
configuration file don't match those that are detected.
</p><div class="sect4" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h5 class="title"><a id="id2529739"></a>Changed behavior caused by DDC.</h5></div></div></div><p>
Several drivers use DDC information to set the screen size and
pitch. This can be overridden by explicitly resetting it to
the and non-DDC default value 75 with the <code class="option">-dpi 75</code>
command line option for the X
server, or by specifying appropriate screen dimensions with the
"DisplaySize" keyword in the "Monitor" section of the config
file.

Of note is that this release supports building the X server using
the system-wide libdrm. Previously, drm was kept in the server's
tree and loaded as a module, rather than using the standard OS
mechanisms for managing shared libraries of code. This requires
that the server be built using a version of libdrm of 2.3.0 or
newer if it is to use DRM.

The Xorg server has previously allowed users to exit the server
by pressing the keys
<span><strong class="keycap">Control</strong></span> +
<span><strong class="keycap">Alt</strong></span> +
<span><strong class="keycap">Backspace</strong></span>.
While this function is still enabled by default in this release,
the keymap data usually used with Xorg, from the
xkeyboard-config project, has been modified to not map that
sequence by default, in order to reduce the chance that
inexperienced users will accidentally destroy their work.
</p><p>
Users who wish to have this functionality available by default
may enable it via the XKB configuration option
“<code class="option">terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp</code>”. For
instance, the <span><strong class="command">setxkbmap</strong></span> command can be used
to enable this by running:
</p><pre class="screen">
setxkbmap -option "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
</pre><p>
Guide</a> also includes
file that sets the
“<code class="option">terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp</code>”
option by default on all keyboards</a>.
Many desktop environments include XKB configuration options in
their preferences to enable this as well.

The X servers in the X11R7.6 release now start by default
with an empty black screen and do not draw the mouse cursor until
a client sets the cursor image. To restore the classic behavior
of starting with the grey weave pattern and × cursor, start
the X server with the <code class="option">-retro</code> option.

Previous versions of X installed font files under the
of the X installation directory (for instance, in X11R6 releases,
was commonly used). This release uses the default installation
path of the <code class="filename">fonts</code>
subdirectory of the <code class="varname">datadir</code> setting from the
GNU autoconf configuration. For instance, if the fonts are

The font module configure scripts all take an option of
<code class="option">--with-fontrootdir=<em class="parameter"><code>PATH</code></em></code>
to override the default. If <code class="option">--with-fontrootdir</code>

The X11R7.6 release supports PCF format bitmap fonts stored
uncompressed or compressed via the <span><strong class="command">compress</strong></span>,
<span><strong class="command">gzip</strong></span>, or <span><strong class="command">bzip2</strong></span> programs.
To utilize bzip2 compression, the <code class="literal">libXfont</code>
and <span><strong class="command">mkfontscale</strong></span> modules must be built with
the <code class="option">--with-bzip2</code> — all other methods are
enabled by default.
</p><p>
To specify which compression method to use when installing
a font module from X11R7.6 the configure scripts accept
an option of
<code class="option">--with-compression=<em class="parameter"><code>TYPE</code></em></code>,
where <em class="parameter"><code>TYPE</code></em> may be <code class="literal">none</code>,

The CID-keyed font format was designed by Adobe Systems for

When building the software, most output will show an abbreviated
format for the commands being run, such as:
</p><pre class="screen">

To enable verbose output, showing all the arguments to the commands

The socket directories created in <code class="filename">/tmp</code>
are now required to be owned by root and have their sticky-bit
set. If the permissions are not set correctly, the component
using this directory will print an error message and fail to
start. Common socket directories that are known to be
affected include:
</p><pre class="screen">
</pre><p>
These directories are used by the font server
(<span><strong class="command">xfs</strong></span>), applications using the Inter-Client
Exchange protocol (<span class="acronym">ICE</span>) and the X server,
respectively.
</p><p>
There are several solutions to the problem of when to create these
directories. They could be created at install time by the system's
installer if the <code class="filename">/tmp</code> dir is
persistent. They could be created at boot time by the system's
scripts). Or, they could be created by PAM modules at service
startup or user login time.
</p><p>
The solution chosen is platform dependent, and the system administrator
should be able to handle creating those directories on any systems that
do not have the correct ownership or permissions.

This section lists current plans for removal of obsolete or deprecated
components in the X.Org releases. As our releases are open source,
users who continue to require these can find the source in previous
releases and continue to use these, but the X.Org Foundation and its
volunteers have decided the burden of continued maintenance and
distribution in the core X11 releases outweighs the benefits of doing
so. In some cases, this is simply because no one has volunteered to do
continued maintenance, so if software is listed here that you need, you
can contact <code class="email"><<a href="mailto:xorg@lists.freedesktop.org">xorg@lists.freedesktop.org</a>></code> to volunteer to
