Synopsis

xorg-x11-drv-sis bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated xorg-x11-drv-sis package that fixes one bug is now available for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The xorg-x11-drv-sis package provides a video driver for SiS and XGI graphics
chips for the X.Org implementation of the X Window System.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Due to a missing XGIPowerSaving() function call in the xgi video driver's

source code, a server using XGI Z9-series graphics chipset was not able to
recover from power-saving mode. With this update, the XGIPowerSaving() function
call has been added and the server now recovers properly. (BZ#730649)

All users of xorg-x11-drv-sis are advised to upgrade to this updated package,
which fixes 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
