RHBA-2012:0285 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
system-config-display, rhpxl, and pyxf86config bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this 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.
