Abstract:
This paper presents an overview of recent and on-going evolutions in the
X window system. First, the state of some features will be presented that are
already available for several months in the X server, but not yet widely used
in applications. Then some ongoing and future evolutions will be shown: on
the short term, the new EXA acceleration framework and the new modular-
ized build system. The last part will focus on a longer term project: the new
Xgl server architecture, based on the OpenGL technology for both 2D and
3D acceleration.
