First step decoupling Xserver maintainers list from xorg-docs. Later commits will drop every but the xserver tree itself. Once it's landed, xorg-docs can just point over here. Rationale: * the Xserver itself already is a big project with lots of maintainers and evolving independently from other X packages. * having this in a separate repo risk letting it run out of sync with actual reality, and even worse doesn't support having different maintainerships for different branches (eg. release lines, semi-forks, ...) * having the xserver-related parts inside the Xserver tree makes it easier for tooling like get_maintainers.pl - eg. useful for finding maintainers or maillists for specific pathes * clean code bases should be self-documenting, instead of spreading it to lots of external places (extra repos, wikis, etc) X-Source-Commit: 9024082a504df81741a1b334963ff4842ffe934e Signed-off-by: Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult <info@metux.net> |

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
