New XFree86 4.1.0, Mesa 3.4.2, Xconfigurator, and xinitrc packages available

New XFree86, Mesa, Xconfigurator, XFree86-compat-libs, and
xinitrc packages are available for Red Hat Linux 7.1, and 7.2.

This is a Red Hat Linux product enhancement release of XFree86, Mesa,
Xconfigurator, XFree86-compat-libs, and xinitrc.

All of the new packages included in this erratum for your particular
Red Hat Linux release are required to ensure a proper successful
upgrade. In addition, you will need to also upgrade your kernel to
the latest official kernel erratum, which has been enhanced with
the latest DRI 3D hardware acceleration support.

If you use any applications which dynamically link to the shared
libraries libXv.so.* and/or libXxf86dga.so.*, you will also need
to install the included XFree86-compat-libs compatibility package.

Once everything has been properly upgraded/installed, be sure to
reboot your system for proper operation, or alternatively to exit
out of X, and then restart the X font server by executing the
following commands in a root login shell:

service xfs stop
service xfs start

Once xfs has restarted, you can start X back up.

users include:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filenames]

where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the
desired RPMs.

Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
