Package: xserver-xorg (6.9.0.dfsg.1-6~bpo.4) [backports]

the X.Org X server

The X.Org X server is an X server for several architectures and operating systems, which is derived from the XFree86 4.x series of X servers.

The X.Org server supports most modern graphics hardware from most vendors, and supersedes all XFree86 X servers.

If the discover, mdetect, laptop-detect and xresprobe packages are installed, this package's configuration script will use them to attempt automatic configuration of the X server based on your information returned by your video card, mouse, and monitor.

This package suggests the libglide2 package, which is necessary for the X.Org X server's "glide" video driver to work with 3Dfx Interactive's Voodoo Graphics and Voodoo2 cards. Users of other video cards need not install libglide2.
