My /var/log has the following three log files: XFree86.0.log XFree86.20.log XFree86.21.log The second and third file come from xnest logins (nicely integrated in gdm). > on a local installation it works (kind of > lousy solution but might help) Lionel Even in local installations, it doesn't work. It gives you the version of the X server installed as /usr/bin/X11/X (or wherever in your path it is), whereas the OP wanted to know the version of the currently running server. One can have more than one X server installed e. G. on a mixed card multi-head or multi-console machine, or because he has a 3.X and a 4.X server, or a stable and a development version. (I don't want to know how many X servers an average X core team member has on his machines :-) You made the silent assumption that it is a local server, and there is only one. I made the silent assumption that "currently running" means the X server the client connected to. The OP was not really exact in his first posting, so both assumptions were legal.
