For the past year, there has been a slow and steady stream of news events regarding XFree86, X11, or new X server implementations. To those not paying close attention (and even those who are), the meaning of some of these events may not be clear. In this brief article, I attempt to share my impression on what the changes mean for users of free software on the desktop. It appears that XFree86 is in some turmoil, and it may leave some to infer that free desktop systems will suffer.

XOuvert is not a fork but consider themselves as branch (just visit their webpage). And yes, X.org together with freedesktop.org will fork XFree86 starting with 4.4 RC2.
