| It's the version of xorg-server. According to
|
| http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/Releases/7.3
|
| xorg-server 1.4 goes with Xorg 7.3. So you have 7.2.
So why does it not just say I have 7.2? Or why doesn't the web site say
that 1.4 is the current version?
Because xorg isn't a single package with a version number any more, it's
now a collection of modules, each with its own version number.
xorg-server 1.4 is just one component of Xorg 7.3. If you look farther
down that web page, you'll see version numbers for other modules.
As for finding out which overall version of Xorg you have, the easiest
way may be the package manager.
