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.

- 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,
