security advisoryFedora Corecritical updateFedora Core: 2005-832 Critical: xorg-x11 Hardware Stability Issues
Updated package.. ---------------------------------------------------------------------Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2005-832 2005-08-31 ---------------------------------------------------------------------Product : Fedora Core 4 Name : xorg-x11 Version : 6.8.2 Release : 37.FC4.45 Summary : The basic fonts, programs and docs for an X workstation. Description : 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------Update Information: 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------* Wed Aug 31 2005 Mike A.
