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 function-
ality of acting as an X server to other clients, and dis-
playing 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), allowing 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 sev-
eral limitations of the Xnest server that were due to
Xnest's reliance on passing most requests through to the
underlying server.
