Fedora Core: 2005-832 Critical: xorg-x11 Hardware Stability Issues

X.org X11 is an open source implementation of the X Window System. It

provides the basic low level functionality which full fledged

graphical user interfaces (GUIs) such as GNOME and KDE are designed

upon.

This new release of xorg-x11 provides a number of bug

fixes to the previous release, including:

- Fix for the infamous "libvgahw" bug, which was caused

by a gcc compiler bug. Many users were affected by this

issue, exhibiting symptoms such as X server crash or

corrupted display during OS installation or during X

server startup after performing a text mode install.

Green or blue border/banding on screen for mga and

some other hardware. A variety of video hardware that

was affected by this issue should now work. Some users

may still experience problems with similar sounding

symptoms after this update, and should query bugzilla

to find out if the particular issue is already

reported in a separate bug, or file a new report

if they still experience problems.

- A problem with the Dutch keyboard layout has been

resolved.

- The open source "nv" driver for Nvidia hardware has been

updated to the latest version. Additionally, a

workaround has been added to the driver to disable known

unstable acceleration primitives on some GeForce

6200/6600/6800 models.

- Several bugs have been fixed in the Xnest X server.

- DRI is now enabled by default on all ATI Radeon hardware

except for the Radeon 7000/Radeon VE chipsets, which

is known to be unstable for many users currently when

DRI is enabled. Radeon 7000 users can re-enable DRI

if desired by using Option "DRI" in the device

section of the config file, with the understanding that

we consider it unstable currently.

- The config space handling code in the X server has been

updated to avoid PCI config space contention issues

between the X server and the kernel. This resolves a

number of bugs that have been reported to us concerning

transient system lockups during OS startup on certain

systems containing certain specific hardware

combinations.

Fedora Core 4 users are encouraged to update to this new

release, and report any regressions in bugzilla.

- Merge developmental changes from FC "devel" branch of CVS into FC4

branch for FC4 update.

- Rebuild FC-devel 6.8.2-45 release as 6.8.2-37.FC4.45 for FC4 update.

Kristian Høgsberg 6.8.2-45

* Fri Jul 29 2005 Kristian Høgsberg 6.8.2-45

- Disable xorg-x11-6.8.2-libvgahw-workaround-rh161242.patch and

rebuild with gcc-4.0.1-4 which has a workaround for the gcc

over-optimization bug.

* Wed Jul 27 2005 Kristian Høgsberg 6.8.2-44

- Update xorg-x11-6.8.2-use-linux-native-pciscan-by-default.patch to

fix all occurrences of direct PCI config space access. Fixes from

Olivier Baudron, comment 28 in #163331.

* Thu Jul 14 2005 Mike A. Harris

- Fix FC5 spec file typo for virtual libGL Requires in -devel subpackage

* Tue Jul 12 2005 Mike A. Harris 6.8.2-43

- Added xorg-x11-6.8.2-xnest-update-modifier-state-fdo3030-fdo3664.patch and

xorg-x11-6.8.2-xnest-fix-warning-spew-fdo3513.patch to fix Xnest bugs

referenced in bug (#162246)

- Updated xorg-x11-6.8.2-redhat-nv-disable-s2scopy-on-geforce-6x00.patch to

add a log file message about ScreenToScreenCopy being disabled on some

GeForce models for bug (#157715)

- Added xorg-x11-6.8.2-libvgahw-workaround-rh161242.patch to attempt to work

around bug (#161242, 162274, 153729, 159106, 160500, 161047, 160470,

160453, 160307, 160777, 151688, 154502, 161566, 160950, 160580, 157556,

161756, 160477, 155416, 160287, 162567, 157593, fdo#2991, fdo#2976,

fdo#3557, gnu#22278)

- Updated xorg-x11-6.8.2-ati-radeon-7000-disable-dri.patch to allow dri

to be forcibly enabled on Radeon 7000 if desired. (#150174)

* Fri Jul 8 2005 Mike A. Harris 6.8.2-42

- Added xorg-x11-6.8.2-redhat-nv-disable-s2scopy-on-geforce-6x00.patch to

work around "nv" driver bug, by disabling ScreenToScreenCopy on certain

GeForce 6200/6800/6800 cards which the problem has been reported on,

until there is a real upstream fix, as the current CVS head driver we

now have, still suffers from the problem. We may also need to blacklist

other cards as new reports come in. (#157715)

* Mon Jul 4 2005 Mike A. Harris 6.8.2-41

- Added xorg-x11-6.8.2-nv-driver-CVSHEAD-6.8.99.13.patch backport of CVS head

nv driver to track the latest bug fixes and hardware support. Hopefully

this will also fix critical bug (#157715) also.

- Disabled patches that are included in the above nv driver update patch:

- xorg-x11-6.8.3-nv-hw-fdo2533-1896.patch

- xorg-x11-6.8.3-nv-patch-fdo2380-1752.patch

* Thu Jun 30 2005 Mike A. Harris 6.8.2-40

- Added xorg-x11-6.8.2-xkb-dutch-keyboard-layout-fixes.patch as a proposed

fix for Dutch keyboard layout issue (#135233)

- Updated xdm.pamd to work with new audit system. (#159332)

- Added xorg-x11-xdm "Requires: pam >= 0.77-66.8" for RHEL-4 builds, and

"Requires: pam >= 0.79-10" for FC5 builds. The audit functionality is

disabled for FC3/FC4 builds.

- Added new build target macro "build_fc5" and updated spec file to use

it where appropriate.

* Thu Jun 9 2005 Mike A. Harris 6.8.2-38

- Removed unused legacy with_new_savage_driver macro and conditional

spec file code.

- Added xorg-x11-6.8.2-ati-radeon-7000-disable-dri.patch to disable DRI on

Radeon 7000/VE hardware to test patch in rawhide prior to inclusion in

RHEL4U2. (#150174)

* Mon Jun 6 2005 Mike A. Harris

- Removed with_libs_data macro as it is no longer useful.

- Updated "Obsoletes: xorg-x11-libs-data" line to remove versioning
