Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult 4510b21b76 (!1682) os: log: drop now meaningless XLOG_FLUSH option
Since we're not indirectly writing via FILE anymore, this option has
become meaningless: it meant flushing out our in-process buffer to
the kernel, but we're now doing direct write() calls anyways.

xf86 still accepts the "flush" config file flag for backwards compatibility,
but it hasn't any practical meaning anymore.

X Server

The X server accepts requests from client applications 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.

For a comprehensive overview of X Server and X Window System, consult the following article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_server

All questions regarding this software should be directed at the Xorg mailing list:
