X i Graphics Having Problems w/Linux (freeware) Graphics? The past few years has seen the popularity of Linux increase substantially.  While Linux earned its reputation for stable, reliable reputation in "headless" (no graphics hardware) applications such as running Apache Web servers, it has since moved into more mainstream applicaions that often are graphics intensive.  That reputation for stable, reliable operation has not followed.  Linux systems with extensive and/or demanding graphics requirements have numerous problems if the graphics sub-system software is dependent upon XFree86/X.org (freeware) X servers. Linux users not familar with the details of graphics software often believe that the Linux operating system is made by the Linux group, and the graphics driver is provided by the graphics card manufacturer (the Microsoft Model).  Users who are familiar with the details know that Linux is a (UNIX-like) kernel, the X Window System ("X") is the graphics portion of a UNIX system using graphics, and the graphics driver for a particular card is a (relatively small) part of the X graphics sub-system software.  They also know that the internals of the graphics sub-system software is radically different between Microsoft systems and UNIX systems.  In fact, MS OS architecture is radically different from UNIX OS architecture.   This may account for some of the initial difficulties encountered by "Windows only" SysAdmins when moving to Linux.  UNIX and Windows really are different animals. However, battle-hardened UNIX users moving off Solaris or AIX or HP/UX have also experienced difficulties when moving to Linux for systems that have heavy graphics requirements.  This paper is an attempt to shed some light on some of the causes for such difficulties, and to lead the readers to try Xi Graphics Accelerated-X™ brand of UNIX/Linux graphics sub-sytem software.
