Excerpt
Excerpt The architecture of the X Window System is based on a client-server model. A single process, known as the server, is responsible for all input and output devices. The server creates and manipulates windows on the screen, produces text and graphics, and handles input devices such as a keyboard and mouse. ... Multiple clients can connect to a single server concurrently. ... In addition to providing device independence, the distributed architecture of X allows the server and clients to run on separate machines located anywhere on a network. |
