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.
If you want to install the X Window System on your machine, you'll
need to install the XFree86 package. In addition, 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.
