No.  I run linux.  CVS is a software release management system, and by
using a cvs client on your machine, you can get the current copy from
xorg that is in development before it is released.  'xc' is the root
directory of their sourcecode.

Do a google search on "xorg cvs", the site with the best instructions is
on freedesktop.org.
