Long time hobbyist and professional firmware programmer. I was bitten by the bug in 1978 when my father brought home a shiny new Radio Shack TRS-80. I worked my way through David Lein's BASIC tutorial and started writing little games. Then came the Level II upgrade, with 12K of RAM and a new BASIC with access to machine language routines through the USR() built-in, and that was that. Ever since, I've worked with small systems, mostly Microchip's 8-bit PICs.

Just a matter of curiosity, I was wondering what version of X comes with Precise. Problem is, it reports (X -version, as well as XProtocolVersion/XProtocolRevision) that it is X11R0.

This was a fresh install from the Xubuntu 12.04 install CD.

Is this a configuration issue on my system, or a bug, or is the revision a don't-care now?

Merely curious -- doesn't seem to break anything.

Same here. Also, looking at actual files, there's things like libxcb-glx.so.0.0.0 which just muddies the water :) So maybe this distro takes from the not-yet-released X11R7.7 (7.6 was released in 2010), although versions of the libs don't seem to agree with anything at xorg.freedesktop.org... Ah, well. Not a big deal. :)

@ikmac What's confusing? All these versions seem to make sense. What disagrees with xorg.freedesktop.org?

Revision 0 makes no sense.
