    The name "X11" comes from the graphic engine "X Version 11" on UNIX. Today it is named "X.org". And of course X11-Basic can run also with SDL and framebuffer.
    The Name SDL-Basic is already used by some other basic, and also XBasic used to be already used 15 years ago. So I stayed with X11-Basic.
