Links to the most recent version:

http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs.../x7server.html

Or the version included in Slackare 13.0:

http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases...-1.6.3.tar.bz2

hi adam! i dont see xephyr,xnest, xvfb i would like to know if tarballs of each exist? i would like to play with 1.7.4 i saw 1.7.4 xorg-server but not xephyr,xnest, xvfb of that version. thats why i would like to know where i can get them from if they exist.

thanks

perfect, does that means that in slackware files are separated for xephyr,xnest, xvfb and created in particular package with makepkg, and by reading from this tarball it installs all 3 by instructions presented?

also i wish if maybe you know where to get kernel 2.6.32.7-smp its modules, headers, firmware and source? that would be more helpfull need to test something.

wondering if on 2.6.33-smp everyone has the same issue with resolution change on boot, or just few of us

)

thanks

You'd have to check the slackbuild to see how it's packaged by Slackware.

Anyone who uses KMS has their resolution change on boot.

You may want to take a look at /source/x/x11/ dirs.
In source/x/x11/makepkg/xorg-server you can read about xephyr, xnest, xvfb but you may want to get familiar with Slackware's way of building X from the main X source dir, which includes x11.SlackBuild etc.
Depending on your needs, here's a good place to start: http://slackware.osuosl.org/
Have fun!
