Welcome to the X Window System version 11 (X11 or X). The X Window System is a network transparent window system.
The HP Visual User Environment (HP VUE) is a graphical user interface that is based on the X Window System. The X Window System can be run alone, or as part of HP VUE. This manual covers what is needed to run the X Window System by itself, although there is a lot of valuable information for the HP VUE user as well.
Hewlett Packard's X Window System also supports HP graphics application (such as Starbase) in the X Window environment. This manual includes information about this capability.
In this chapter you'll find out how this manual is organized and some of the conventions it uses.
