Xorg Family of Servers

While Oracle Solaris 10 includes both the Xsun family of X servers, with Xsun as the default on SPARC platforms, and Xorg as the default on x86 platforms, Oracle Solaris 11 only supports the Xorg family of servers. X server information has moved from /usr/X11/bin to /usr/bin. Note that Xorg packages are included on the Live Media, but not with the text installer. The following table lists legacy Oracle Solaris X server commands and the corresponding Oracle Solaris 11 commands.
