Synopsis

mesa bug fix and enhancement update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

Updated mesa packages that fix multiple bugs and add various enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

Mesa provides a 3D graphics application programming interface (API) that is compatible with OpenGL (Open Graphics Library). It also provides hardware-accelerated drivers for many popular graphics chips.

The mesa packages have been upgraded to upstream version 7.11, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version. (BZ#713772)

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Prior to this update, the OpenGL output was corrupted due to problems with the rendering in guests. This update modifies the software rendering so that the OpenGL output is no longer corrupted. (BZ#677470)

• Prior to this update,the nouveau gallium driver was wrongly included in the mesa-dri-drivers package which could lead to conflicts. This update corrects this error and removes the nouveau gallium driver from the package. (BZ#745686)

All Mesa users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs add these enhancements.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
