XGGI is an accelerated and an unusual multihead capable X server on top of libggi(7). XGGI supports 8, 15, 16, 24 and 32 bit modes on any libggi target that provides a pixellinear Directbuffer.

The special thing with unusual multihead capability is that you can put multiple machines to an X cluster, each machine accelerating the rendering of its display.

Note that even though XGGI is built from X.org sources it is not an X.org server. No code from hw/xfree86 is used, and therefore an eventual /etc/XF86Config file is completely ignored.

Requirements:
GGI 2.2
