HowTo check your X11/X.Org version
Posted: 24 Apr 2016, 11:28
I have had some challenges regarding some Distros in Virtualbox.
In one case it the claim was that the VM could not handle the latest X11(xorg) version - so I needed to find out what version I had.
We can use xdpyinfo
So here we go:
It will tell you the xorg version you need to know.
You will never remember this you say? I don't either - so I use Inxi. It will show up on the general but to narrow it down is the one to use.
