Type/Severity
Product Enhancement Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated xorg-x11-drv-sis package is now available for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 5.
Description
xorg-x11-drv-sis is a video driver for the X.Org implementation of the X Window
System that provides a support for Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS) graphics
chips.
This update adds the following enhancement:
- The video driver has been extended to support XGI Volari Z9s
application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs). These chips are typically used
in servers and server management products. (BZ#483568)
Note: On new installations of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.6, this updated package
will use the appropriate driver automatically. On existing systems, it may be
necessary to switch to the "xgi" driver after the updated package is installed.
To do this, run the following command as root:
system-config-display --reconfig
All users of the xorg-x11-drv-sis driver should upgrade to this updated package,
which adds this enhancement.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
