system-config-display, rhpxl, and pyxf86config bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated system-config-display, rhpxl, and pyxf86config packages that fix several
bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The system-config-display package contains a tool for configuring the xorg.conf
file that is used by the X Window System for display configuration. The rhpxl
package contains a Python library for configuring and running the X Window
System. The pyxf86config package contains a Python binding to the C-language
parser for the X Window System's xorg.conf file.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Prior to this update, running the system-config-display utility with the
  "--set-hsync" and "--set-vsync" command line options or setting these options in
  a kickstart file for Anaconda failed to create a "Monitor" section in the
  xorg.conf file. This update corrects this error so that the
  system-config-display utility now creates this section as expected. (BZ#429949,
  BZ#750352)
  
• The previous version of the system-config-display utility allowed the user to
  configure dual head mode regardless of the driver in use. Consequent to this,
  enabling dual head mode on a system with a video driver that does not support
  this feature (such as "nv") caused system-config-display to create a non-working
  configuration file. With this update, the utility has been adapted to disable
  dual head mode when such a driver is detected. (BZ#430579)
  
• Previously, an incomplete dual head configuration could cause the
  system-config-display utility to terminate unexpectedly with a traceback. This
  update adapts the underlying source code to make sure that such an error no
  longer occurs. (BZ#755542)
  

All users of system-config-display, rhpxl, and pyxf86config are advised to
upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs.

Solution

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