Xserver Reviews & Product Details

The fact that XServer is open-source is the biggest positive it has, it started with pretty humble beginnings and has transformed over the years to a fully featured, low resource intensive, Display Server, able to run a window manager ( Graphical Display Interface) that offered users a alternative to CLI when using Linux kernels, In my opinion, X server played a integral role in the popularity and usability of Core Linux.

It is not up to par with other (Non-Free) offerings, and its kind of difficult to implement, there is definitely a learning curve, but that is Linux for you, if you didn't want to learn and have the power to do anything, you would use windows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a free, maintained solution providing the basis for *nix GUIs. I have used it my entire career for interacting with my *nix computers. I have used it on Red hat, opensuse, slackware, Solaris, and HPUX. I have used it with CRTs and LCDs. I have used it to display GUI screens over local lans as well as over the internet. I have used it with Nvidia, Matrox, Intel, and AMD video cards. It works everywhere! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The current development of new features is slower than I would like to see. Multiple monitors with different DPIs cannot scale independently. When it goes wrong, it can be very difficult to sort out where the problem lies. I have spent hours fixing it when it doesn't work. It is such a fundamental part of using the computer that when it is gone, you are in trouble if you can't fix it from the command line. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
