Synopsis
xorg-x11-drv-nv enhancement update
Type/Severity
Product Enhancement Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An enhanced xorg-x11-drv-nv package is now available.
Description
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 bug:
- NVIDIA Quadro FX 570 and Quadro FX 1700 graphics cards obtain modetimings
from the X server for mode validation ("native modesetting"). Previously,
xorg-x11-drv-nv did not support native modesetting, and therefore would not
work with these cards. With native modesetting supported in
xorg-x11-drv-nv, this driver now works with Quadro FX 570 and Quadro FX
1700 graphics cards. (BZ#480025)
This update also adds support for:
- switching between internal and external displays with the Fn+F7 key
combination on Lenovo T61p notebooks. (BZ#435285)
- NVIDIA GeForce 9800GTX graphics cards. (BZ#452996)
All users of NVIDIA graphics cards should install this package, which
resolves this issue and adds these enhancements.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
