This page is a temporary beta location for an update of the main X page.

This set of wiki pages is primarily focused on assisting new Ubuntu X developers, packagers, testers, and bug triagers.

While there are some links here that may be useful to end users experiencing difficulties or power users want to learn more about X, you may find end-user-focused tips and aids available on the Video Resources page at help.ubuntu.com more suitable.
