Details
An updated xorg-x11-drv-nv package that fixes a bug and adds support for
Quadro FX 770M, FX1800M and 880M GPUs is now available.
xorg-x11-drv-nv provides a driver for NVIDIA cards for the X.org
implementation of the X Window System.
This update resolves the following issue:
* previously, xorg-x11-drv-nv specified no explicit range for offscreen
Pixmaps. On rare occasions, this caused X to crash with a sig 11 error when
Firefox 3.5.x attempted to load certain, specific, web pages (eg
http://adorama.com). With this update, explicit 512 pixel limits have been
placed on offscreen Pixmap width and height. Consequently, xorg-x11-drv-nv
no longer causes X to crash when Firefox 3.5 loads the specified pages.
(BZ#498500)
This update also adds the following enhancements:
* previously, the NVIDIA cards that used the Quadro FX 770M GPU were driven
as generic VESA-compliant video cards. With this update, the
xorg-x11-drv-nv driver adds Quadro FX 770M support. Amongst other
improvements, Quadro FX 770M-based cards now support multi-head setups.
(BZ#486135, BZ#499684)
* this update adds support for the NVIDIA Quadro FX 1800M or 880M GPUs such
as are included in Dell M4500 Mobile Workstations. (BZ#514999)
All users should install this newly released package, which resolves these
issues.
