Carlos García has written about the evolution of accelerated compositing in #WebKitGTK, and how we are transitioning towards using DMA-BUF for graphics buffer sharing—simplifying code along the way: blogs.igalia.com/carlosgc/20…

X11R6.4 is now 25 years old. This release introduced Xinerama, DPMS, and Extended Visual Information extensions still used today. Not all of its innovations stood the test of time though - LBX and XRX ("Broadway") were dropped in later X11 releases. web.archive.org/web/20230227…

The shortest lived feature of the X11R6.4 release was the change by @TheOpenGroup to a non-open-source license which didn't allow use in any product that cost money without paying them. It returned to a traditional MIT-style license later that year: web.archive.org/web/20020811…
