+
+                                  Abstract
+
+     X11R6.9 and X11R7.0 are Open Source versions of the X Window System
+     that supports many UNIX(R) and UNIX-like operating systems (such as
+     Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD and Solaris x86) on Intel and other
+     platforms.  This version is compatible with X11R6.8 and other X
+     window system implementations which support the X11R6 standard.
+
+1.  What are X11R6.9 and X11R7.0?
+
+X11R6.9 is the ninth and final full release in the X11R6 series, and X11R7.0
+is the first release in the new X11R7 series.
+
+The 6.9 version is a new release that includes additional hardware support,
+functional enhancements and bug fixes.  The 7.0 version is built from the
+same source code as the 6.9 so it contains the same additional hardware sup-
+port, functional enhancements and bug fixes; however, it has been split into
+logical modules that can be developed, built and maintained separately, but
+still fit together coherently into the larger source code base as they have
+in the 6.9 tree.  Specific release enhancements can be viewed in the Release
+Notes.
+
+X11R6.9 and X11R7.0 are being released at the same time to assist in the
+transition from the older monolithic source tree to the new modular source
+tree.  It will take time for everyone to make this transition, so we will
+maintain the older X11R6 series through update releases to both X11R6.9 and
+X11R6.8.
+
+Most modern PC video hardware is supported in both releases, and most PC
+video hardware that isn't supported explicitly can be used with the "vesa"
+driver.  The Release Notes has a table showing the drivers provided with
+X11R6.9 and X11R7.0, and links to related documentation.
+
+The X.Org Foundation X releases are produced by the X.Org Foundation.  The
+X.Org Foundation has been formed as a Delaware corporation organized to oper-
+ate as a scientific charity under IRS code 501(c)(3) chartered to develop and
+execute effective strategies which provide world-wide stewardship of the X
+Window System technology and standards. Membership in the X.Org Foundation is
+free to all participants. Applications for Membership are now being accepted,
+and active participants in the further development of the X Window Technology
+are invited to complete a membership application
+<URL:http://www.x.org/XOrg_Foundation_Membership.html>.  The X11R6.9 and
+X11R7.0 codebase forms the fourth X Window System release since the formation
+of the X.Org Foundation and includes code from the X Consortium, the Open
+Group and the XFree86[tm] project.  This release is dedicated to the greater
+X community, developers and users alike.
+
+2.  Licensing
+
+X Window System source code is covered by many licenses.  All of these
+licenses have in common the fact that they do not impose significant condi-
+tions on the modification or redistribution or either source code or binaries
+beyond requiring one or more of the following:
+
+  1.  Copyright and/or license notices are left intact.
+
+  2.  Copyright and/or license notices are reproduced verbatim in documenta-
+      tion accompanying binary distributions.
+
+  3.  Attributions are included with documentation accompanying binaries.
+
+Most of these licenses are based on the MIT, X Consortium, or BSD (original
+and revised) licenses.  All of them are consistent with the Open Source Defi-
+nition, and most are consistent with the Free Software Foundation's Free
+Software Definition.
+
+Copyright and Licensing information for X, including the reproduction of
+copyright and/or license notices and attributions required by some of the
+licenses for binary distributions, can be found in the License Document.  If
+you find any omissions in that document, please contact us with details at
+<xf_board@x.org>.  While the current licenses are all open source licenses,
+the X.Org Foundation is attempting, with time, to bring as much as possible
+of the code's licenses in the distribution into compliance with the Debian
+Free Software Guidelines.
+
+3.  Pointers to additional information
+
+The documentation for this release can be found online at the X.Org web site
+<URL:http://wiki.x.org/>.  Information about binary distributions and the
+attendant installation instructions can be found in the Installation Docu-
+ment.
+
+The X11 version numbering system (including historical information) can be
+found in the Versions Document.
+
+Additional information may be available at the X.Org Foundation Wiki
+<URL:http://wiki.x.org/>.
+
+4.  The Public Mailing Lists
+
+Current information about the X.Org Foundation public mailing lists is avail-
+able on the X.Org mailing list page <URL:http://lists.x.org/mail-
+man/listinfo/> and related desktop technology mailing lists can be found on
+Freedesktop.org's mailing list page <URL:http://freedesktop.org/mail-
+man/listinfo>.
+
+5.  Contributing to the X.Org Foundation's X efforts.
+
+If you have any new work or enhancements/bug fixes for existing work, please
+send them to <xorg@freedesktop.org> or to our bug tracking system
+<URL:https://bugs.freedesktop.org/> using the xorg component.  This will help
+ensure that they are included in future releases.
+
+6.  How to get the release
+
+Information about X11R6.9 and X11R7.0 can be found from the X.Org Foundation
+wiki at <URL:http://wiki.x.org>, and at mirrors of this server.  Information
+about obtaining and installing binary distributions of this release can be
+found in the Installation Document.
+
+Note that both X11R6.9 and X11R7.0 are being released simultaneously but only
+one source tree is required to build the release.  Information about obtain-
+ing the release in source form is given below.
+
+6.1  X11R6.9
+
+The source for version 6.9.0 is available as a single tarball:
+
+     X11R6.9.0-src.tar.gz
+
+and also is available split into seven separate tarballs:
+
+     X11R6.9.0-src1.tar.gz
+     X11R6.9.0-src2.tar.gz
+     X11R6.9.0-src3.tar.gz
+     X11R6.9.0-src4.tar.gz
+     X11R6.9.0-src5.tar.gz
+     X11R6.9.0-src6.tar.gz
+     X11R6.9.0-src7.tar.gz
+
+The first three of the separate tarballs contain everything except the fonts
+and general X11 documentation.  Those three are sufficient for building
+X11R6.9 if you already have a set of fonts.  The fourth and fifth contain the
+fonts.  The sixth contains the source for the general X11 documentation.  The
+seventh contains the general X11 documentation in hardcopy format.
+
+6.2  X11R7.0
+
+This is the first release of the new modular source code tree.  The souce
+code has been split into nine logical modules: app, data, doc, driver, font,
+lib. proto, util and xserver.  Each of these modules contain one or more
+packages that can be configured, built and installed separately.  Please see
+an X11R7.0 release site for a complete list of the tarballs.
+
+For information on how to build the modular tree packages see the Modular
+Developer's Guide <URL:http://wiki.x.org/wiki/ModularDevelopersGuide>.  This
+guide also contains information for developers who want to help improve the
+modular build system and modular code base.
+
+6.3  The current development tree
+
+The X source code for this and all releases/snapshots as well as development
+versions can also be accessed via the Freedesktop.org CVS repository.  It's
+also possible to browse the freedesktop CVS repository
+<URL:http://cvs.freedesktop.org/xorg/>.  The CVS tag for the 6.9 version is
+"XORG-6_9_0" and the CVS tag for the 7.0 version is "XORG-7_0_0".  The CVS
+tag for the stable branch for the %relvers; release is "XORG-6_9-branch".
+
+To check out the latest development version, don't specify any tag.
+
+7.  Reporting Bugs
+
+Bugs should be reported to bug tracking system <URL:https://bugs.freedesk-
+top.org/> using the xorg component.  Before reporting bugs, please check the
+server log file, which can be found at /var/log/Xorg.0.log on most platforms.
+If you can't resolve the problem yourself, send the entire log file with your
+bug report but not the operating system core dump.  Do not edit the log file
+as our developers use it to reproduce and debug your problem.  Please attach
+it to your bug report.
