Just a matter of curiosity, I was wondering what version of X comes with Precise. Problem is, it reports (X -version, as well as XProtocolVersion/XProtocolRevision) that it is X11R0.

This was a fresh install from the Xubuntu 12.04 install CD.

Is this a configuration issue on my system, or a bug, or is the revision a don't-care now?

Merely curious -- doesn't seem to break anything.

The X protocol version is reported as:

X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0

The software itself is specifically the X.Org X Server (there are others, like XFree86), and it's version is reported as:

X.Org X Server 1.11.3

(Full output of X -version from my system here.)

  • Same here. Also, looking at actual files, there's things like libxcb-glx.so.0.0.0 which just muddies the water :) So maybe this distro takes from the not-yet-released X11R7.7 (7.6 was released in 2010), although versions of the libs don't seem to agree with anything at xorg.freedesktop.org... Ah, well. Not a big deal. :) – ikmac Jun 06 '12 at 15:34
  • @ikmac What's confusing? All these versions seem to make sense. What disagrees with xorg.freedesktop.org? – Eliah Kagan Jun 06 '12 at 16:05
  • Revision 0 makes no sense. – ikmac Jun 06 '12 at 16:13
  • Hasn't X11R0 been obsolete for decades? Current version from xorg is X11R7.6 – ikmac Jun 06 '12 at 16:34
