RHBA-2009:1691 - xorg-x11-server bug fix update
Synopsis
xorg-x11-server bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated xorg-x11-server packages that resolve an issue are now available.
Description
X.org X11 is an open source implementation of the X Window System. It provides the basic low level functionality upon which full fledged graphical user interfaces such as GNOME and KDE are designed.
These updated xorg-x11-server packages fix the following bug:
- when using a dual-head X11 configuration with more than one display, if the user's session was locked by gnome-screensaver, then clicking or typing only resulted in a black screen and a mouse pointer instead of a login prompt as expected. Because of this, it was not possible to log back in to the desktop session once gnome-screensaver had been started. This update restores the ability to log back into a session after gnome-screensaver has started when using a dual-head X11 configuration. (BZ#537759)
All users of xorg-x11-server are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve this issue.
