["XWindowSystem"] > XFree 86


Details

XFree86 is an implementation of the [:XWindowSystem:X Window System] written originally for the Intel 80386 platform and certain video cards used on that platform. In short, it forms the basis for the Graphical User Interface of Debian (["DesktopEnvironment"]s). Today it supports other platforms and many different types of graphics cards. If you cannot find a specific driver for yours, use the VESA like default.
