Topic
An updated xorg-x11-drv-vesa driver which fixes a bug is now available.
Description
xorg-x11-drv-vesa is a video driver for the X.Org implementation of the X
Window System. It is used as a fallback driver for cards with no native
driver, or when the native driver does not work.
On Dell Precision M09-family laptops using nVidia Quadro FX 770M video
drivers, DPMS backlight power saving modes did not function correctly.
The backlight would remain on when the laptop screen was closed,
significantly reducing the standby life of the device. The update
implements a change to the driver's DPMS settings, which corrects the
backlight issue. (BZ#494671)
Users of the xorg-x11-drv-vesa package are advised to upgrade to the
updated package, which resolves this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
