message: The mailing-list thread pointed to covers discussion by developers who make a distinction between "Xorg Foundation" and (themselves) developers.  Perhaps "Xorg developers" is a better way to word it. Tedickey (talk) 12:20, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  multiple workspaces and window managers: a solution 

message: How they were resolved? Honestly, I do not understand why on the earth this means that those issues are resolved. Could someone explain that (preferably on the article)? --ilaiho (talk) 14:24, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Of "These specific issues are resolved in XRandR 1.3" 

message: According to the latest commits the original version 1.4 was scrapped and is being replaced with new functionality, including "GPU objects" or "provider objects" as the protocol calls them.
See also this announcement on Phoronix.com (according to it the changes were originally planned for 1.5.).
Update: Here's the announcement on the mailing list. Distro0 (talk) 09:03, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Version 1.4 

message: So-called "Zaphod" mode is when a single X screen has multiple protocol displays on a single graphics card.  E.g., X server :0 has screens :0.0 and :0.1 on a single GPU.  Traditionally, these screens are still intended to be used by a single person.
So-called "multiseat" configurations (which the RandR article describes and Zaphod_display redirects to) describes configurations where multiple user workstations are attached to a single computer.
Should the incorrect Zaphod text just be removed?

thread_title:  Zaphod and Multiseat are not the same thing 

message: In the examples, the primary screen is mentioned in two places but there is no evidence of what it is.  What determines primacy?  A characteristic of the hardware?  An algorithm?  A parameter of configuration set by the user?  This article isn't a manual but to be meaningful to a non-expert reader, terminology should be explained.  Mysterious terminology seriously devalues any example.  Regards, PeterEasthope (talk) 13:47, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
