Xephyr
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with Zephyr.
Xephyr is display server software implementing the X11 display server protocol based on KDrive which targets a window on a host X Server as its framebuffer. It is written by Matthew Allum. Xephyr is an X-on-X implementation and runs on X.Org Server and can work with Glamor.[1] Future versions could make use of libinput.[citation needed] Replacing Xephyr with the xf86-video-dummy and xf86-video-nested drivers in the normal X.Org server is being considered as part of X11R7.8.[2]
