Description:   Free X11 implementation (6.8.2-1044)
This is the X.org X11R6.8 release, which is now considered the "official" implementation of the X11 specification. It was originally based on XFree86 4.4 (minus some code with a disputed license), but has since been updated to include many bugfixes and new features, including: * Support dynamic screen configuration changes in rootless mode * Added option to always use Mac command key equivalents * Interpret scroll wheel mouse events correctly when shift is held down * Added trivial Xinput support * Fixed launch of X clients from Finder with a space in their path * Fixed some GLX rendering problems on Mac OS X 10.2 and earlier ...as well as a number of new extensions: * The XFixes extension: a collection of improvements for deficiencies in the core protocol * The Damage extension: allows a client to be notified whenever something is drawn to a window. This feature is useful for VNC servers, for screen magnifiers, and for clients using the Composite extension to update the screen. * The Composite extension allows a client to request that all drawing to window is redirected to off-screen buffer. Through the Damage extension the client, called a 'compositing manager', can know which areas of a window is modified and render the windows on screen. By making use of the drawing requests from both the core protocol and the RENDER extension, the compositing manager can create special effects, such as translucent windows. * XEvIE: an extension to intercept core keyboard and pointing device input. It allows consumation, modification or synthesis of input events before these are sent to their final destination (i.e., interested clients).
