XGGI
Introduction
XGGI is an accelerated and an unusual multihead capable X server on top of libggi(7). It supports 8, 15, 16, 24 and 32 bit modes on any libggi target that provides a pixellinear Directbuffer.
The special thing with unusual multihead capability is that you can put multiple machines to an X cluster, each machine accelerating the rendering of its display.
Note that even though XGGI is built from X.org sources it is not an X.org server. No code from hw/xfree86 is used, and therefore an eventual /etc/XF86Config file is completely ignored.
XGGI 2.0.0 requires GGI 2.2.
Latest version
Latest version is XGGI 2.0.0.
