Topic
An updated xorg-x11-drv-qxl package that fixes two bugs is now available Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
The xorg-x11-qxl-drv package provides an X11 video driver for the QEMU QXL video
accelerator. This driver makes it possible to use Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 as
a guest operating system under KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) and the
machine emulator QEMU with the Simple Protocol for Independent Computing
Environments (SPICE).
This update fixes the following bugs:
- Prior to this update, only a limited number of resolution choices were
available for xql drivers inside the guest, none exceeded 1024x768 in size. To
achieve a higher resolution the xorg.conf configuration file had to be manually
edited. With this update larger resolutions are provided for guests with
appropriate hardware. (BZ#581841)
- Prior to this update, the X server unexpectedly aborted with a segmentation
fault and the GNOME Display Manager (GDM) respawned if trying to switch to a
virtual console with a key combination in certain circumstances. Now, switching
to a virtual console and back to the graphical desktop works as expected.
(BZ#585141)
All users of KVM-based virtualization are advised to upgrade to this updated
package, which fixes these bugs.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
