Xephyr
In computing, Xephyr is a KDrive-based X server which targets a window on a host X Server as its framebuffer.

[edit] Features
Unlike the similar Xnest, Xephyr supports modern X extensions (even if host server doesn't) such as composite, damage, randr, etc. It uses SHM images and shadow framebuffer updates to provide good performance. It also has a visual debugging mode for observing screen updates.
[edit] Limitations
Xephyr doesn't pick up the correct keyboard configuration from evdev-based keyboard drivers, so users must configure Xephyr's keyboard layout manually when using such keyboard drivers.[citation needed]
Xorg's version of Xephyr only supports software rendering for OpenGL, but Feng Haitao has developed a forked version of Xephyr which supports hardware-accelerated rendering if the underlying X server supports it.
