Description: the XFree86 X server
The XFree86 X server is an X server for several architectures and operating
systems; its architecture was completely redesigned for the 4.0 release, and
features a loadable module system in which required modules are loaded on
demand by a single server binary as opposed to the video card-specific X
servers of the 3.x release.
.
The XFree86 server supports most modern graphics hardware from most vendors,
and supersedes most version 3.x XFree86 X servers. See
<http://www.xfree86.org/4.1.0/Status.html> for information on its support for
your particular hardware.
.
If the mdetect and read-edid packages are present, the debconf scripts in
this package will use them to attempt automatic configuration of your mouse
and monitor.
.
Note that on the hppa architecture, the server's loadable module support
is not present, and therefore the XFree86 server is a (very large) single
binary.
