RHBA-2011:0543 - xorg-x11-server bug fix update

Synopsis

xorg-x11-server bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

Updated xorg-x11-server packages that fix one bug are now available.

Description

The xorg-x11-server provides the X.Org sample implementation of a server for the X Window System. It provides the rendering services necessary for graphical user environments like GNOME.

This update fixes the following bug:

• In previous releases, drivers using RANDR-style output setup (Radeon, Nouveau, and Intel) selected a default resolution of 1024x768 when no EDID information was available from the monitor. Older, non-RANDR-style drivers, however,defaulted to 800x600 in this situation. This update corrects the defaults for non-RANDR-style drivers to 1024x768 for consistency. (BZ#625564, BZ#627719, BZ#633281, BZ#636904, BZ#638234)

All xorg-x11-server users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
