Xvesa Resurrection: A Tiny X Server Rises Again

Xvesa, a lightweight X server, has been resurrected from the depths of git history! The team chose to maintain it with Xfbdev, prioritizing bug fixes, security improvements, and occasional new features because TinyX servers are much smaller than Xorg can be. Version 1.2.0 was chosen over 1.3.0 due to input issues in the latter. The design emphasizes minimalism and full functionality, omitting xkb, xinput, xinerama, and gl. TCP listening is disabled by default, and shadow framebuffer is enabled. The license is GPLv3.
