X11 Alternatives?

Posted by Cliff on from the tired-of-singing-that-same-old-tune dept.

James Skarzinskas asks: "X has been, in general, the most widely used and acknowledged to many as the 'graphics of Linux'. During the last few years, projects like the Linux Framebuffer have really taken off and related projects have shown real potential. I'm just wondering if the Slashdot community knows of any less-public alternative to X; perhaps even using the Linux framebuffer?" Aside from SVGALib, what other graphical infrastructures exist for Unix-based systems?

    I hate X11's popup ads. They're everywhere and they annoy me. I'll never buy an X11 product, ever!

    Wait... X11 are the hidden camera people right?

    Oops, my mistake...

    Silly programmers and their off-by-one errors.
