Xorg version current

I have always wondered about this, does slack have its number for X releases?

Code:

This is a pre-release version of the X server from The X.Org Foundation.
It is not supported in any way.
Bugs may be filed in the bugzilla at http://bugs.freedesktop.org/.
Select the "xorg" product for bugs you find in this release.
Before reporting bugs in pre-release versions please check the
latest version in the X.Org Foundation git repository.
See http://wiki.x.org/wiki/GitPage for git access instructions.

X.Org X Server 1.4.0.90

X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0

using the current version, should 1.4.0.90 not be 7.x or whatever Xorg release its on?

The X Server project is only one of many projects within the X.Org system.
The overall release is X11R7.3, and each project has its own version.

Sort of like a Linux distribution... the current Slackware release is 12.0, but the default kernel for 12.0 is 2.6.12.5.
