Да, у местных вялендофанатов принято молиться на Паккарда и с придыханием произносить «он поддерживал иксы, чтобы они хоть как-то работали!»
Ну вообще, Паккард – это и есть иксы. Xorg в нынешнем виде появился потому что Паккард посрался со всеми разрабами XFree86 и форкнул его, это было где-то в 2003-04.

2002: Growing dissent within the project
By 2002, while Linux's popularity, and hence the installed base of X, surged, X.Org was all but inactive; active development was largely carried out by XFree86.[11] However, there was considerable dissent within XFree86.
XFree86 used to have a Core Team which was made up of experienced developers, selected by other Core Team members for their merits. Only the members of this Core Team were allowed to commit to CVS. This was perceived as far too cathedral-like in its development model: developers were unable to get commit rights quickly and vendors ended up maintaining extensive patches.[12][13]
A key event was Keith Packard losing his commit rights. Hours before the feature freeze window for XFree86 4.3.0 started, he committed the XFIXES extension (which he developed himself), without prior discussion or without review within the Core Team. The Core Team decided to remove Keith's commit access, but without removing him from the Core Team itself, and the XFIXES extension was backed out six weeks later.[14][15]
