Accelerated-X is a proprietary port of the X Window System to Intel x86 machines.


It used to provide much better driver support (hardware acceleration, 3D and compatibility, especially on integrated graphics) than XFree86, at a time when the major graphics chipset vendors were not supporting Linux officially.
