Synopsis

xorg-x11-drv-nouveau bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

Updated xorg-x11-drv-nouveau packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The xorg-x11-drv-nouveau utility provides the Xorg X11 nouveau video driver for NVIDIA graphics chipsets.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Previously, the Xorg X11 nouveau video driver incorrectly tried to access acceleration-related structures for rotation on chipsets with disabled acceleration. Due to this behavior, the driver aborted unexpectedly. Now, rotation works regardless of whether acceleration is enabled or not. (BZ#633226)

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