GoKawiilyserver
A modern X11 server written from scratch in Rust.
The goal is not to clone Xorg. It is to provide a practical X11 server that runs real desktop environments, window managers, and applications on modern Linux while dropping legacy baggage (multiple screens, non-TrueColor visuals, indirect GLX, the DDX driver ABI, endian-swapped clients, and so on).
See docs/high-level-design.md for the full design and scope.
Name
The yserver name is the 'working' name as it was the first idea that popped into my head when starting the project. But there are multiple projects on GitHub with this name (but none for X11 servers), the name is subject to change. Not a priority now.
Status
yserver (standalone DRM/KMS) can now run full MATE/XFCE/Cinnamon desktops. Other tested window managers include FVWM3, e16 and wmaker.
We support the following extensions:
