,----[ Quote ]
| Since publishing the world's first look at Wayland, a nano display server for
| Linux with an integrated compositing manager, there has been much interest in
| this emerging Red Hat project. While this project is still in its infancy,
| below are a few more notes about recent changes with Wayland.

New Wayland X server looks to how a modern desktop works
,----[ Quote ]
| The new Wayland X server strips down what is considered obligatory in an X
| Server to reveal a lightweight display server. The Wayland project was
| started by Kristian Høgsberg and is still a very young project, revised daily
| and being rapidly developed. Wayland's design approach is to have a server
| which only supports the features used by a modern composite desktop
| environment.

Wayland: A New X Server For Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| It's no secret that much of the code-base that makes up the modern-day X.Org
| Server is old and in some places bloated. The X.Org Server continues to
| evolve and has received a number of major additions in recent times, but
| wouldn't a clean and lighter server that is designed around today's needs be
| ideal? Red Hat's Kristian Høgsberg has started a new project, which is
| currently known as Wayland, and is just that: a new lightweight X Server.
| Wayland isn't just a rewrite of the current X Server, but instead it's a
| small server that is designed around some of the latest graphics technologies
| such as kernel mode-setting and the Graphics Execution Manager. Wayland also
| has its own built-in compositing manager.

The joy of X - master the Linux GUI
,----[ Quote ]
| If you're a Linux user you have no doubt heard of GNOME and KDE. These
| popular desktop environments are really the pinnacle of a deep iceberg of
| technology with the X-Windows graphical interface underpinning it all. Here
| are a couple of ways to tame X, kicking off a journey of unlimited ability to
| change the Linux look-and-feel.

| release to X Server 1.5.0, which is the server component for X.Org 7.4, but
| today we have a third release. Adam Jackson has announced the release of X
| Server 1.5.2 with 14 changes.

[ANNOUNCE] xserver 1.5.0
,----[ Quote ]
| This is almost certainly the server that will go into Xorg 7.4. The
| module set for same is available here:
|
| http://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/preview-X11R7.4/src/
|
| If you see anything missing that should be present, or present that
| should be absent, yell very loudly, right now. Otherwise that'll go
| gold in a day or two.
