How to find out xorg version? or "what's my xorg version?"
It is a bit confusing, because the official documentation refers to the latest versions as X11R7.6
and XServer 1.9
. Based on these numbers, you are running "X.Org 7.6" as your X.Org Server is at version 1.11.
1.9
02
.
You can take a look at the version reported in your packaging system, in Debian:
$ apt-cache show xserver-xorg | grep Version
Version: 1:7.5+8
In this example the version should be 7.5.
On Ubuntu 16.04, I used:
sudo X -version
