xserver-xfree86 4.3.0.dfsg.1-6ubuntu25 (i386 binary) in ubuntu warty
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://
your particular hardware.
.
If the discover, mdetect, laptop-detect and xresprobe packages are installed,
this package's configuration script will use them to attempt automatic
configuration of the X server based on your information returned by your
video card, mouse, and monitor.
.
Note that on the HP-PA, MIPS, and SuperH architectures, the server's
loadable module support is not present, and therefore the XFree86 server is a
(very large) single binary.
.
This package suggests the libglide2 package, which is necessary for the
XFree86 X server's "glide" video driver to work with 3Dfx Interactive's
Voodoo Graphics and Voodoo2 cards. Users of other video cards need not
install libglide2.
