RHBA-2014:0361 - 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 5.

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:

  • Due to a logic error in timestamp comparison, resolution changes using the xrandr utility or other RANDR clients failed under various conditions, including long uptime or wall time going backwards. A patch has been implemented to fix this bug. As a result, changing resolution now works correctly when the date is out of synchronization with the original time. (BZ#1080497)

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

Solution

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

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/site/articles/11258
