RHBA-2013:1610 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated xorg-x11-drv-mga packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The xorg-x11-drv-mga packages provide a video driver for Matrox G-series
chipsets for the X.Org implementation of the X Window System.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Prior to this update, the graphical user interface could appear distorted on

19-inch monitors with the 16:9 ratio. The xorg-x11-drv-mga packages have been
fixed, and so the distortion no longer occurs in this scenario. (BZ#894959)

• Previously, resolutions higher than 1440x900 were not available with Red Hat

Enterprise Linux 6.4 using the MGA G200e chips. Consequently, the Matrox driver
did not allow native resolutions to be reached for many monitors. With this
update, the X Server no longer discards larger resolution modes, and resolutions
higher than 1440x900 are now available. (BZ#918017)

Users of xorg-x11-drv-mga are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which fix these bugs.

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