The X Window System (X11) is the de facto standard for
graphical user interfaces in UNIX. X is network-based,
enabling applications started on one host to be displayed
on another host connected over any kind of network
(LAN or Internet).
This chapter describes the setup and optimization of the
X Window System environment, provides background information
about the use of fonts in SUSE® Linux Enterprise, and explains the
configuration of OpenGL and 3D.
The following text contains several references to documentation that can be
found below /usr/share/doc/packages/Xorg and
/usr/share/doc/howto/en. This material along with
respective manual pages is available only if the appropriate documentation
packages are installed (xorg-x11-doc,
xorg-x11-man, and howtoenh).
HINT: IBM System z: Configuring the Graphical User Interface
IBM System z do not have any input and output
devices supported by X.Org. Therefore, none of the configuration
procedures described in this section apply.
More relevant information for IBM System z
can be found in Section 7.6,
Network Devices.
