Someone Explain: Whats going on X.org/XFree

[Edwards, Scott (MED, Kelly IT Resouces)]

Excuse my ignorance but is X.org 100% compatible with XFree86?  I.E. are
the ATI and nVidia drivers all going to work the same with X.org?

Thanks
  -Scott

XFree86 4.3.0 has been removed and replaced with X.org X11.  
There's no useful reason to ship 2 X11 implementations in one
product.  When you upgrade to xorg-x11, it automatically
obsoletes and uninstalls the previous XFree86 packages (any
version).

Take care,
