xf86-input-joystick is a joystick input driver for the Xorg X server. It is used to control the pointer with a joystick device.

fonttosfnt wraps a set of bdf or pcf bitmap fonts in a sfnt (TrueType or OpenType) wrapper.

xf86-video-ati is an ATI Radeon video driver for the Xorg X server.

Xrefresh is a simple X program that causes all or part of your screen to be repainted. This is useful when system messages have messed up your screen.

The xinit program is used to start the X Window System server and a first client program on systems that are not using a display manager such as xdm. This package also provides the startx command, which provides a user-friendly mechanism to start the X server.

The XCB util module provides a number of libraries which sit on top of libxcb, the core X protocol library, and some of the extension libraries. These experimental libraries provide convenience functions and interfaces which make the raw X protocol more usable. Some of the libraries also provide client-side code which is not strictly part of the X protocol but which has traditionally been provided by Xlib.

The XCB util-renderutil module provides the following library:

- renderutil: Convenience functions for the Render extension.

This package provides a default set of cursor themes for the Xorg X server: handhelds, redglass and whiteglass.

XInput is used to configure and test XInput devices.

This package provides a common set of SGML entities and XML/CSS style sheets used in building/formatting the documentation provided in other Xorg packages. It's typically only needed by people building from source who want to produce formatted documentation from their builds, or those who have installed the HTML version of the documentation, which refers to the included common xorg.css stylesheet.

libxcvt is a library providing a standalone version of the X server implementation of the VESA Coordinated Video Timings (CVT) standard timing modelines generator. libxcvt also provides a standalone version of the command line tool cvt copied from the Xorg implementation and is meant to be a direct replacement to the version provided by the Xorg server.

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

xf86-input-mouse is a mouse input driver for the Xorg X server. This driver supports four classes of mice: serial, bus and PS/2 mice, and additional mouse types supported by specific operating systems, such as USB mice.

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.

TigerVNC implements a VNC client and server. VNC is a remote display system that lets you view and interact with a virtual desktop environment running on another computer on the network. Client and server may be running on different operating systems and architectures.

TigerVNC uses a variant of Tight encoding that is greatly accelerated by the use of the libjpeg-turbo JPEG codec and performs fast enough to run even 3D or video applications. It also provides extensions for advanced authentication methods and TLS encryption.

This package installs only the VNC client (vncviewer), the application used to connect to VNC servers such as the tigervnc-server package.

libXtst provides the Xlib-based client API for the XTEST & RECORD extensions.

The XTEST extension is a minimal set of client and server extensions required to completely test the X11 server with no user intervention. This extension is not intended to support general journaling and playback of user actions.

The RECORD extension supports the recording and reporting of all core X protocol and arbitrary X extension protocol.

xf86-video-ark is an Ark Logic video driver for the Xorg X server.

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

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

XKill is used to force the X server to close connections to clients. This program is very dangerous, but is useful for aborting programs that have displayed undesired windows on a user's screen.

Uim is a multilingual input method library and environment. It provides a simple, easily extensible and high code-quality input method development platform, and useful input method environment for users of desktop and embedded platforms.

Xorg XKB file handling library.

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.

Setxkbmap is an X11 client to change the keymaps in the X server for a specified keyboard to use the layout determined by the options listed on the command line.

XSet is used to set various user preference options of the display.
