It is also the X server for the [[Solaris (operating system)|Solaris]] operating system. X.Org is also available in the repositories of [[MINIX|Minix 3]].

In 2013, the initial versions of DRI3 and Present extensions were written and coded by Keith Packard to provide a faster and [[Screen tearing|tearing]]-free 2D rendering.

In June 2025, a fork of X.Org Server called Xlibre was released in response to perceived stagnation. The project provoked controversy due to its stated opposition to [[diversity, equity, and inclusion]] initiatives.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.theregister.com/2025/06/10/xlibre_new_xorg_fork/ |title=Forked-off Xlibre tells Wayland display protocol to DEI in a fire |last=Proven |first=Liam |date=18 June 2025 |orig-date=10 June 2025 |access-date=1 July 2025 |work=The Register}}</ref>
