RHEA-2011:0105 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

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

Description

xorg-x11-drv-sis is a video driver for the X.Org implementation of the X Window
System that provides a support for Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS) graphics
chips.

This update adds the following enhancement:

• The video driver has been extended to support XGI Volari Z9s

application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs). These chips are typically used
in servers and server management products. (BZ#483568)

Note: On new installations of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.6, this updated package
will use the appropriate driver automatically. On existing systems, it may be
necessary to switch to the "xgi" driver after the updated package is installed.
To do this, run the following command as root:

system-config-display --reconfig

All users of the xorg-x11-drv-sis driver should upgrade to this updated package,
which adds this enhancement.
