“… continues to bring exceptional graphics performance and
stability to the Linux Operating System…”

“Lee Roder, sales and service director for Xi Graphics, says
that as Linux becomes more prominent on corporate desktops and
laptops, it’s vital to have an X server that not only provides
maximum graphical performance, but also insures that users get
stable operation. “The only way to accomplish that is with
Accelerated-X,” says Roder. “Accelerated-X represents a million
bytes of quality code, about twice the size of the Linux kernel
itself, that enable a GUI to perform with the speed & stability
that graphics users would expect from a stable OS such as
Linux.”
