MicroXwin on Raspberry Pi

Xorg X11 vs MicroXwin on Raspberry Pi

X Windows is a network oriented and client-server design with the X server responsible for all graphics operations.

**MicroXwin** is binary compatible to the *Xlib API*. However it is neither client server nor network oriented. Graphics operations are implemented in the *linux kernel* via a *kernel* module and makes this solution smaller and faster than traditional *X Windows.*

Why should you consider using *MicroXwin*.

• Snappy GUI - *MicroXwin* has 2X times faster graphics, faster event handling, low latency and low round-trip delays.

• Lower Memory Usage - *MicroXwin's kernel* based X server uses < 1/2MB versus 29MB used by *Xorg's* frame buffer X server.

• Compatibility - *MicroXwin* is binary compatible with standard *X11* at the *Xlib* layer. So you can run all the standard applications and window managers.
