Excerpt from http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2011-March/020481.html: The Xorg & xorg.conf substitutions are leftover from the transitional period where some distros were building our sources with the XFree86 and XF86config names until they had time to adjust the rest of their packages/installer/config code to the new names. This will fix inconsistencies and prevent the creation of new unneeded sed patterns.

X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows,
which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program
can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server
(or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager,
which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons
and draggable titlebars and borders.
