X11R6.5.1
^^____________ Wire protocol version
^^^^^______ Version number of this release of programs
XFree86 contains drivers for lots of graphics cards which the X release
doesn't. Nowadays though, XFree86 and X are somwwhat synominous.
That may change if the framebuffer device gets more widespread use
(as it should).
