I guess technically you take the output of 'pacman -Qs xorg-server' and cut out the version number in between the spaces... But that's probably a hack around

iono if that will work since it would also display the xserver utils package to

${texeci interval pacman -Q xorg-server | awk '{print $2}'}

sorry Ronin-sage, ive got

TEXT
 $alignc -- ${texeci interval pacman -Q xorg-server | awk '{print $2}'} | $nodename - $sysname $kernel on $machine | Ram:$color $mem/$memmax | Swap:$color $swap/$swapmax | Root: $color${fs_used /}/${fs_size /} --

as the line of code to display stuff and i added ur code infront of the kernel info but when i run conky it just shows ${texeci} | (rest of my conky info )

${exec pacman -Q xorg-server}

You have to actually change "interval" to whatever you want the...well, interval to be.

I know this is an old thread but here is an alternative code that I use:

${exec xdpyinfo | grep "X.Org version" | sed -n 's/.*: \([0-9.]*\)/\1/p'}

Pro: it is independent of distribution
Con: depends on xorg-xdpyinfo package

Arch Linux
