S.u.S.E. GmbH, one of the major supporters of XFree86, has started to release a small series of their own X servers. These servers are based on XFree86 code and released with permission of The XFree86 Project, Inc. All work related to these servers is contributed back to XFree86, these servers will be included in XFree86's next public release.
This is what happened in XFree86-3.3.2 with all XSuSE servers except for XSuSE_Elsa_GLoria. The reasons for not including XSuSE_Elsa_GLoria were purely legal ones and outside the control of S.u.S.E. GmbH or The XFree86 Project, Inc.
Currently XSuSE_Elsa_GLoria is available for some cards from Elsa (Elsa GLoria L, GLoria L/MX, GLoria S, GLoria Synergy, Winner Office/2000; similar cards from other vendors (like Diamonds Fire GL 1000, GL 1000 PRO, and 3000; many other Permedia 2 based cards) should work with this server as well).
Check the XSuSE webpage for more details about these servers. Please contact SuSE's XSuSE support address with all comments, questions, or reports regarding these servers.
The XFree86 Project, Inc is a non-profit organisation that produces XFree86, the X Window server for PC based UNIX(R) and UNIX-like systems.
