how does x write to display cards

[My Own Linux]

I am doing a small project (still in learning phase). I want to know does X
server write the image to the display card memory to be shown on monitor.

Does it use DirectFB or the Linux frame buffer ?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DirectFB

How does it handle it for older cards ?
