NAME
Xnest - a nested X server
DESCRIPTION
The Xnest(1) X server is no longer included in this release.
The Xephyr(1) and Xvnc(1) servers provide similar functionality of act-
ing as an X server to other clients, and displaying their output in a
window on another X server.
Xephyr acts as a simple X client which is displayed on another X
server, while Xvnc provides a X server which can be connected to from a
Remote Frame Buffer (RFB) protocol client such as vncviewer(1), allow-
ing for the session to continue between connections and for connections
to occur from multiple viewing computers. Both Xephyr and Xvnc offer
more support for modern desktop environments and newer X extensions
than the older Xnest server did, and avoid several limitations of the
Xnest server that were due to Xnest's reliance on passing most requests
through to the underlying server.
