Repo Info
The X.Org project provides an open source implementation of the X Window System. The development work is being done in conjunction with the
freedesktop.org
community. The
X.Org Foundation
is the educational non-profit corporation whose
Board
serves this effort, and whose
Members
lead this work.
The last full release of the entire X.Org stack was
X11R7.7
- since then individual X.Org modules have been released independently as needed - see
the xorg-announce archives
for details of those releases, and
for downloads. Information about all
releases
is available.
(Important: If you have an older release, please see the
Security page
for information on security updates.)

Mailing Lists
On
XorgMailingLists
you can find a list of X-related mailing lists hosted on lists.freedesktop.org. More mailing lists on X Window System and related technologies along with subscription directions are available at
XOrg Foundation
Getting X
The best place to get X is from your operating system or distribution vendor. X.Org currently provides no binaries.
There are many
Mirrors
from which you can download source code to the X Window System. If you would like to be a mirror, feel free to do so and add yourself to the
Mirrors
page.
Development snapshots are currently on hiatus; most modules now update slowly enough that frequent snapshots aren't needed.
Security

Please notify us of any security issues by sending mail to

The X.Org Foundation welcomes sponsorship (both cash and in-kind), and tries hard to put the donations of sponsors to transparent good use. The Foundation is an extremely low-overhead all-volunteer organization. If you are interested in contributing, please see our
