Summary: Part of the X.Org implementation of the X Window System
Description:
If you want to install the X Window System (TM) on your machine, you'll need to install X.Org. The X Window System provides the base technology for developing graphical user interfaces. Simply stated, X draws the elements of the GUI on the user's screen and builds methods for sending user interactions back to the application. X also supports remote application deployment-running an application on another computer while viewing the input/output on your machine. X is a powerful environment which supports many different applications, such as games, programming tools, graphics programs, text editors, etc. X.Org is the version of X which runs on Linux, as well as other platforms. This package contains the basic fonts, programs and documentation for an X workstation. However, this package doesn't provide the program which you will need to drive your video hardware. To control your video card, you'll need the particular X server package which corresponds to your computer's video card. In addition to installing this package, you will need to install the X.Org package which corresponds to your video card, the Xconfigurator package and the xorg-libs package. You may also need to install one of the X.Org fonts packages. And finally, if you are going to develop applications that run as X clients, you will also need to install xorg-devel.
