+X11 driver
+==========
+
+This was the first driver done for XaoS. It supports many visuals, shared
+colormaps and MitSHM extension.
+
+Bugs/limitations:
+
+XaoS makes some X servers too busy
+
+    Sometimes XaoS generates images faster than X can display them. In this
+    case XaoS responds poorly to the mouse, and other applications slow down
+    too. This happens especially often on old R4 servers. Use -sync to avoid
+    this problem. Note that -sync does not make all communication with X
+    asynchronous; it just adds one additional XSync call. So the slowdown is
+    not as large as you might expect.
+
+Does not work on all visuals
+
+    This driver supports only 8bpp pseudocolor/grayscales, 15,16,24 and 32bpp
+    truecolor, 1bpp and 8bpp staticolor visuals.
+
+Palette rotating does not work for 8bpp pseudocolor w/o private palette
+
+X11 driver was written by Jan Hubicka and Thomas Marsh, 1997.
