Download X.Org 7.2

The X Window System, simply called X or X11, is a platform for using graphical operation under different operating systems. The platform consists of a server, the X Window server, that manages the screen and so-called clients that connect to the X server and tell it what to show on the screen. X.Org is a widely used X Window server that runs on Unix-like systems. The X.Org Foundation has released version 7.2 with the following succinct announcement:

The X.Org community is proud to announce the release of X11R7.2, the third modular release of the X Window System. X11R7.2 supports Linux, BSD, Solaris, and GNU Hurd systems. It incorporates significant stability and correctness fixes, including improved autoconfiguration heuristics, enhanced support for GL-based compositing managers such as Compiz and Beryl, and improved support for PCI systems with multiple domains. It also incorporates the new, more extensible XACE security policy framework.
