The X Window System

The X Window System (X11) is the de facto standard for graphical user in-

terfaces in UNIX. Moreover, X11 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 presents optimization possibilities for your X Window Sys-

tem environment, background information about the use of fonts in SUSE

LINUX, and the conﬁguration of OpenGL and 3D. The YaST modules for

conﬁguring the mouse and keyboard are covered in the chapter on installa-

tion in this manual (Section 2.4.5 on page 74).

I S/390, zSeries

This chapter cannot be applied to SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server instal-

lations on S/390 and zSeries because the displays of these systems are not

supported by XFree. J
