Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated xorg-x11-server-utils packages that fix multiple bugs and add various
enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The xorg-x11-server-utils package contains a collection of utilities used to
modify and query the runtime configuration of the X.Org server. X.Org is an open
source implementation of the X Window System.
The xorg-x11-server-utils packages have been upgraded to upstream version 7.1
which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version.
(BZ#713862)
This update also fixes the following bugs:
- Previously, the xrandr options --scale and -- transform caused a segmentation
fault, because these options required an --output field but the utility didn't
validate the command line properly check for existing output. With this update,
xrandr displays a message informing that the --scale and -- transform options
also require the --output option. (BZ#657554)
- Previously, xrandr wrongly assumed that a gamma ramp value of zero was a
failure. When VNC was enabled, xrandr returned a zero value. With this update,
xrandr is modified to allow for a gamma ramp value of zero. Now xrandr no longer
fails when running VNC. (BZ#740146)
All users of xorg-x11-server-utils are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which fix these bugs and add these enhancements.

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant
