XGGI

XGGI

XGGI is a partly accelerated and fully multihead-capable X server which uses LibGGI to do hardware-independent graphics and input. It supports 8, 15, 16, 24, and 32 bit modes on any LibGGI target that has a pixellinear DirectBuffer, and should run in any resolution the target can support. XGGI has been successfully tested on the "KGI", X, fbdev, svga, DGA, "lcd823", and "tile" targets.

The ability of XGGI to run on itself via GGI's X11 target makes Xnest superflous.

XGGI 1.6.2 was based on XFree86 3.3.3. It featured a little acceleration but was the first Xserver with true multihead support and it did not require root privileges.

New features in XGGI 2.0 over 1.6.2:

* It is based on Xorg X11R7.0
* xdpyinfo shows 24 X Window extensions (RENDER, RANDR, MIT-SHM, ...)
* IPv6 support
* It supports mouse wheels
* Backing store is 100% accelerated
* Acceleration of many window operations
* Support for many more and new hw-archs & operating systems
