The X.Org Server implements the server side of the [[X Window System core protocol]] version 11 (X11) and extensions to it, e.g. RandR.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/tree/randr |title=git: xorg-server, RandR}}</ref>

The Device Independent X (DIX) is the part of the X.Org Server that interacts with clients and implements software rendering. The main loop and the event delivery are part of the DIX.<ref>{{
An X server has a tremendous amount of functionality that must be implemented to support the X core protocol. This includes code tables, glyph rasterization and caching, [[X logical font description|XLFDs]], and the core rendering API which draws graphics primitives.
===
The Device Dependent X (DDX) is the part of the x-server that interacts with the hardware. In the X.Org Server source code, each directory under "hw" corresponds to one DDX. Hardware comprises graphics cards as well as mouse and keyboards. Each driver is hardware specific and implemented as a separate loadable module.
====
For historical reasons the X.Org Server still contains graphics device drivers supporting some form of 2D rendering acceleration. In the past, [[mode-setting]] was done by an X-server graphics device driver specific to some [[video controller]] hardware (''e.g.'', a [[Graphics processing unit|GPU]]). To this mode-setting functionality, additional support for 2D acceleration was added when such became available with various GPUs. The mode-setting functionality was moved into the [[Direct Rendering Manager|DRM]] and is being exposed through
In [[Debian]] the 2D graphics drivers for the X.Org Server are packaged individually and called ''xserver-xorg-video-*''.<ref>{{
The available [[free and open-source graphics device driver]]s are being developed inside of the [[Mesa 3D]]-project. While these can be recompiled as required, the development of the proprietary DDX 2D graphics drivers is greatly eased when the X.Org Server keeps a stable API/ABI across multiple of its versions.
With version 1.17 a generic method for mode-setting was mainlined

[[File:Linux graphics drivers 2D.svg|
In the [[X Window System]], '''XFree86 Acceleration Architecture''' ('''XAA''') is a driver architecture to make a video card's 2D [[hardware acceleration]] available to the X server.<ref name="anholt2004">{{cite web |last1=Anholt |first1=Eric |title=High Performance X Servers in the Kdrive Architecture |url=https://www.usenix.org/legacy/event/usenix04/tech/freenix/full_papers/anholt/anholt_html/ |website=www.usenix.org |
Most drivers implement acceleration using the XAA module. XAA is on by default, though acceleration of individual functions can be switched off as needed in the server configuration file (<
The driver for the [[ARK chipset]] was the original development platform for XAA.
Line 82 ⟶ 89:
In X.Org Server release 6.9/7.0, [[EXA]] was released as a replacement for XAA, as XAA supplies almost no speed advantage for current video cards. EXA is regarded as an intermediate step to converting the entire X server to using [[OpenGL]].

Glamor is a generic, hardware independent, 2D acceleration driver for the X server that translates the X render primitives into [[OpenGL]] operations, taking advantage of any existing 3D OpenGL drivers.<ref>{{cite web|title=What is Glamor?|url=http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Glamor/|publisher=FreeDesktop.org|
The ultimate goal of GLAMOR is to obsolete and replace all the DDX 2D graphics device drivers and acceleration architectures, thereby avoiding the need to write X 2D specific drivers for every supported graphic chipset.<ref>{{cite web|last=Anholt|first=Eric|title=Building 2D rendering acceleration with OpenGL|url=http://mirror.linux.org.au/linux.conf.au/2014/Wednesday/52-Building_2D_rendering_acceleration_with_OpenGL_-_Eric_Anholt.mp4|publisher=[[linux.conf.au]]

There is a distinct and special DDX for instances of the X.Org Server which run on a guest system inside of a [[Virtualization|virtualized environment]]: xf86-video-qxl, a driver for the "QXL video device". [[Simple Protocol for Independent Computing Environments|SPICE]] makes use of this driver though it works without it as well.
In the Debian repositories it is called xserver-xorg-video-qxl, cf. https://packages.debian.org/buster/xserver-xorg-video-qxl

Under Debian, drivers related to input are found under <code>/usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/</code>. Such drivers are named e.g. <code>evdev_drv.so</code>, <code>mouse_drv.so</code>, <code>synaptics_drv.so</code> or <code>wacom_drv.so</code>.

The X.Org Server, and any x-client, each run as distinct processes. On Unix/Linux, a process knows nothing about any other processes. For it to communicate with another process, it is completely and utterly reliant on the kernel to moderate the communication via available [[inter-process communication]] (IPC) mechanisms.
[[Unix ___domain socket]]s are used to communicate with processes running on the same machine. Special socket function calls are part of the System Call Interface. Although [[Network socket|Internet ___domain sockets]] can be used locally, Unix ___domain sockets are more efficient, since they do not have the [[Communications protocol|protocol]] overhead ([[checksum]]s, byte orders, etc.).

There are these methods to configure a multi-seat assembly:

Line 139 ⟶ 146:
Even though a single user can utilize multiple monitors connected to the different ports of a single graphics card (cf. RandR), the method which is based on multiple instances of the xorg-server seems to require multiple [[Conventional PCI|PCI]] graphics cards.
It is possible to configure multi-seat employing only one graphics card, but due to limitations of the X protocol this necessitates the usage of [[X Display Manager Control Protocol]] XDMCP.<ref>{{

[[File:Schema of the layers of the graphical user interface.svg|
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.<ref>{{cite web|last=Coopersmith|first=Alan|title=The difference between Xorg and XFree86|url=https://blogs.oracle.com/solaris/the-difference-between-xorg-and-xfree86-v2|date=28 May 2004|
In 2005, a great effort was put in the modularization of the X.Org server source code,<ref>{{cite web|title=X.Org Foundation Modularization Working Group|url=http://www.x.org/wiki/ModularizationWorkingGroup/|publisher=X.Org Foundation|
In June 2006, another effort was done to move the X.Org server source codebase from [[Concurrent Versions System|CVS]] to [[Git (software)|git]].<ref>{{cite web|last=Høgsberg|first=Kristian|title=Doing git migration now|date=July 2006 |url=http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg/2006-June/016439.html|
{{quote|Some of our efforts here have been technological - one of the driving efforts of the conversions from Imake to automake and from CVS to git was to make use of tools developers would already be familiar and productive with from other projects. The Modularization project, which broke up X.Org from one giant tree into over 200 small ones, had the goal of making it possible to fix a bug in a single library or driver without having to download and build many megabytes of software & fonts that were not being changed.}}

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.
