History
The modern X. Org Foundation came into being in 2004 when the body that oversaw X standards and published the official reference implementation joined forces with former XFree86 developers. XFree86 is an implementation of the X Window System. It was originally written for Unix-like Operating systems on IBM PC compatibles and is now
X11R6. 7. 0, the first version of the X. Org Server, was forked from XFree86 4. In Software engineering, a project fork happens when developers take a copy of Source code from one software package and start independent development XFree86 is an implementation of the X Window System. It was originally written for Unix-like Operating systems on IBM PC compatibles and is now 4 RC2. The immediate reason for the fork was a disagreement with the new license for the final release version of XFree86 4. 4, but several disagreements among the contributors surfaced prior to the split. Many of the previous XFree86 developers have joined the X. Org Server project.
The X11R6. 9. 0/X11R7. 0. 0 release primarily added a modular build system based on the GNU Autotools. The GNU build system, also known as the Autotools, is a suite of Programming tools produced by the GNU project. 6. 9. 0 used the old imake build system whereas 7. imake is a discontinued build automation system implemented on top of the C preprocessor 0. 0 uses autotools, both on the same codebase. The modular path (using GNU Autotools) is however the future direction of the X. Org server, and also saw the X11 binaries moving out of their own /usr/X11R6 subdirectory tree and into the global /usr tree on POSIX systems. POSIX (ˈpɒzɪks or "Portable Operating System Interface" is the collective name of a family of related standards specified by the IEEE to define
Adoption
The X. Org Server is increasingly popular with the free software Unix-like operating systems, being adopted in most Linux distributions and BSD variants, with the exception of NetBSD (although X.

Sun Microsystems Inc ( is a multinational vendor of Computers computer components Computer software, and Information technology services Solaris is a Unix -based Operating system introduced by Sun Microsystems in 1992 as the successor to SunOS. Xsun is an X Window System (X11 server implementation included with the Solaris operating system, developed by Sun Microsystems. It is also used in Cygwin/X, Cygwin's implementation of the X server for Microsoft Windows, and in Xming. Cygwin/X is an implementation of the X Window System that runs under Microsoft Windows.
