RHBA-2012:0368 - 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 fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
X.Org is an open source implementation of the X Window System. It provides the basic low-level functionality that full-fledged graphical user interfaces are designed upon.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, if the X server was configured as a multi-screen setup through multiple "Device" sections in the xorg.conf file, an absolute input device (for example a graphic tablet's stylus) got stuck in the right-most or bottom-most screen. This update changes the screen crossing behavior so that absolute devices are always mapped across all screens. (BZ#783505)
All users of xorg-x11-server are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
