X, or the X Window System, is the software that enables the XO's Sugar graphical user interface — windows, icons, and menus that you interact with using a pointer.
It is standard open source software provided with nearly all Linux distributions.
Restarting X
You can press Ctrl+Alt+Erase to restart the X server without rebooting your XO.
Determining X version
In the Terminal Activity, type xdpyinfo and press Enter to display lots of information about the X Window System server on your laptop. Enter
xdpyinfo | grep version
just to see the version.
