| 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). | ||
