XWayland is an X Server running as a Wayland client, and thus is capable of displaying native X11 client applications in a Wayland compositor environment. [54] This is similar to the way XQuartz runs X applications in macOS's native windowing system. The goal of XWayland is to facilitate the transition from X Window System to Wayland ...
A multi-monitor setup is supported on Linux at least by AMD Eyefinity & AMD Catalyst, Xinerama and RandR on both X11 and Wayland. Serious Sam 3: BFE is one example of a game that runs natively on Linux and supports very high resolutions and is validated by AMD to support their Eyefinity. [264]

X.Org Server is the free and open-source implementation of the X Window System (X11) display server stewarded by the X.Org Foundation. Implementations of the client-side X Window System protocol exist in the form of X11 libraries, which serve as helpful APIs for communicating with the X server. [4] Two such major X libraries exist for X11.
The combined window manager/display server is called a Wayland compositor. Weston is a reference implementation of a Wayland compositor; KWin and Mutter are also Wayland compositors as well as being X11 compositing window managers.
The X11 protocol actually uses a single 32-bit unsigned integer - called a pixelvalue - for representing a single color in most graphic operations. When transferring the intensity of primary colors, a 16 bit integer is used for each color component. The following representations of colors exist; not all of them may be supported on a specific ...
Mir is a computer display server and, recently, a Wayland compositor for the Linux operating system that is under development by Canonical Ltd. It was planned to replace the currently used X Window System for Ubuntu; [3] [4] [5] however, the plan changed and Mutter was adopted as part of GNOME Shell.
Xvfb is also used for remote control. VNC over SSH can be faster than X11 over SSH, [4] specially reducing latency over the internet. [5] In this case, Xvfb is often combined with a lightweight window manager (such as Fluxbox or Openbox) and a VNC server such as X11vnc.
