Synopsis

xorg-x11-drv-ati and mesa bug fix and enhancement update

Type/Severity

Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

Updated xorg-x11-drv-ati and mesa packages that fix a bug and add an enhancement are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The xorg-x11-drv-ati packages provide a driver for ATI graphics cards for the X.Org implementation of the X Window System. The mesa packages provide hardware-accelerated drivers for many popular graphics chipsets, and Mesa, a 3D graphics application programming interface (API) compatible with the Open Graphics Library (OpenGL).

This update fixes the following bug:

• Previously, Mesa did not recognize Intel HD Graphics chipsets integrated into Intel E3-family processors. Consequently, these chipsets provided limited display resolutions and their graphics performance was low. This update adds support for these chipsets. As a result, the chipsets are recognized by Mesa and perform as expected. (BZ#821873)

In addition, this update adds the following enhancement:

• This update adds support for AMD FirePro M100 (alternatively referred to as AMD FirePro M2000), AMD Radeon HD 74xx Series, AMD Radeon HD 75xx Series, and AMD Radeon HD 76xx Series graphics cards, and the AMD FusionA integrated graphics processing unit. (BZ#788166, BZ#788168)

All users of xorg-x11-drv-ati and Mesa are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug and add this enhancement.
