The future of X
Keith Packard is one of the main X developers and currently works at Intel to improve their graphic drivers for X and to improve X in general. He had a talk at this year’s akademy titled “Multi-Head RandR” and I was eager to get my hands on the slides since I was not able to attend akademy.

Background
Since the XFree86 project broke apart and the development of the X.Org Server started off, quite a lot of developments happened. For the users the most notable improvement is AIGLX and similar techniques. The developers (and distributers) were happy to see that X is now modularized, which means that X is easier to maintain, package and deliver.
