XFree86 is a port of X11R6 that supports several versions of Intel-based Unix. It is derived from X386 1.2, which was the X server distributed with X11R5. This release consists of many new features and performance improvements as well as many bug fixes. The release is available as source patches against the X Consortium X11R6 code, as well as binary distributions for many architectures.
XFree86/OS2 is the tentative work title for the implementation of XFree86 on OS/2 based systems.

Binaries for OS/2 2.11 and OS/2 Warp are available from: ftp.XFree86.org:/pub/XFree86/beta/binaries/OS2

Other versions:
XFree86/OS2 will run on all dialects of Warp, including Warp "red spine box", Warp "blue spine box", Warp Connect and Warp Server (beta 1 and 2). Fixpack level 5 is mandatory, a later fixpack level (10 or 17) is recommended. XFree86/OS2 appears to work under OS/2 2.11 with fixpack 100, but this was not checked in all details, so hidden problems may still exist. It is unlikely that it will run stable under OS/2 2.0 and 2.1, and it will definitely not run with any OS/2 1.X.
It is possible to build XFree86/OS2 from the sources. Read about this in some section below.
