An X server traditionally has a device-independent part (which
handles the X protocol and most of the other tasks that don't
need to know about the details of how to talk to the keyboard, 
mouse and frame buffer) and a device-dependent part (which 
knows how to interact with the keyboard, mouse and  frame 
buffer).

Xnewt combines a device-independent part built from Xorg source
with a device-dependent part that knows how to talk to the 
keyboard, mouse and frame buffer of a Sun Ray.  utxsun mentions 
Xorg because its job is to build a command line that will be 
parsed by the device-independent (Xorg-based) part of Xnewt.
