Topic
Updated xorg-x11-drv-vesa drivers which fix various bugs is now available.
Description
xorg-x11-drv-vesa is a video driver for the X.Org implementation of the X
Window System. It is used as a fallback driver for cards with no native
driver, or when the native driver does not work.
This updated package fixes the following issues:
- a segfault during startup, which caused a system crash, occurred when
using the previous xorg-x11-drv-vesa package with nVidia G70 and G80 video
cards. This issue is resolved in this updated package.
- during a RHEL 5 client installation, anaconda failed to detect the
correct monitor type, forcing a text mode install. This issue was reported
on an HP NC6400 laptop using an ATI Radeon x1300 video card, but may effect
other hardware. This update resolves this issue.
Users should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves these issues.
