This package contains Xorg support for the NVIDIA GeForce 8 series of graphics processors.

There are a few caveats of which to be aware: the XVideo extension is not supported, and the RENDER extension is not accelerated by this driver.

Library for the XFixes Extension to the X11 protocol.

This package provides a set of autoconf macros used by the configure.ac scripts in other Xorg modular packages, and is needed to generate new versions of their configure scripts with autoconf.

xlsfonts lists fonts available from an X server via the X11 core protocol.

xf86-video-mga is a Matrox video driver for the Xorg X server.

Fixes Extension makes changes to many areas of the protocol to resolve issues raised by application interaction with core protocol mechanisms that cannot be adequately worked around on the client side of the wire.

EGLExternalPlatform is an specification of the EGL External Platform interface for writing EGL platforms and their interactions with modern window systems on top of existing low-level EGL platform implementations. This keeps window system implementation specifics out of EGL drivers by using application-facing EGL functions.

Library for the Render Extension to the X11 protocol.

Xorg Session Management library.

Xmag displays and captures a magnified snapshot of a portion of an X11 screen.

libXfont provides the core of the legacy X11 font system, handling the index files (fonts.dir, fonts.alias, fonts.scale), the various font file formats, and rasterizing them. It is used by the X servers, the X Font Server (xfs), and some font utilities (bdftopcf for instance), but should not be used by normal X11 clients. X11 clients access fonts via either the new API's in libXft, or the legacy API's in libX11.

This package provides the Xorg X server itself. The X server accepts requests from client programs to create windows, which are (normally rectangular) 'virtual screens' that the client program can draw into.

Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server (or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager, which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons and draggable titlebars and borders.

Xorg arabic-misc font.

This library provides weak aliases for pthread functions not provided in libc or otherwise available by default. Libraries like libxcb rely on pthread stubs to use pthreads optionally, becoming thread-safe when linked to libpthread, while avoiding any performance hit when running single-threaded.

Xmodmap is used to display and edit the keyboard modifier map and keymap table that are used by client programs running on X server to convert event keycodes into keysyms. It is usually run from the user's session startup script to configure the keyboard according to personal tastes.

xwayland-satellite grants rootless Xwayland integration to any Wayland compositor implementing the xdg_wm_base interface. This is particularly useful for compositors that (understandably) do not want to go through implementing support for rootless Xwayland themselves.

xkbcomp keymap compiler converts a description of an XKB keymap into one of several output formats. The most common use for xkbcomp is to create a compiled keymap file (.xkm extension) which can be read directly by XKB- capable X servers or utilities.

X Keyboard (XKB) Extension essentially replaces the core protocol definition of keyboard. The extension makes possible to clearly and explicitly specify most aspects of keyboard behaviour on per-key basis and to more closely track the logical and physical state of the keyboard. It also includes a number of keyboard controls designed to make keyboards more accessible to people with physical impairments.

xf86-video-qxl is a video driver for the Xorg X server. This driver is intended for the spice qxl virtio device.

XKB event daemon listens for the specified XKB events and executes requested commands if they occur.

xf86-video-geode is an Xorg X server video driver for the AMD Geode GX and LX processors. The GX component supports both XAA and EXA for graphics acceleration. The LX component supports EXA, including compositing. Both support Xv overlay and dynamic rotation with XRandR.

Xwud is used to display in a window an image saved in a specially formatted dump file, such as produced by xwd.

XKBUtils is a collection of small utilities for X Keyboard (XKB) extension to the X11 protocol. It includes:

- xkbbell: generate XKB bell events;

- xkbvleds: display the state of LEDs on an XKB keyboard in a window;

- xkbwatch: reports changes in the XKB keyboard state.

XAuth program is used to edit and display the authorization information used in connecting to the X server.

DMX (Distributed Multihead X) Extension defines a protocol for clients to access a front-end proxy X server that controls multiple back-end X servers making up a large display.
