RHEA-2012:0940 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

Updated xorg-x11-drv-mga packages that add an enhancement 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 adds the following enhancement:

• RandR 1.2 support for G200-based graphics chipsets has been added. It allows

dynamic reconfiguration of display settings to match the currently plugged in
monitor. This is particularly important on servers, as they often start with no
monitor attached, having it attached later in runtime. (BZ#657580)

All users of xorg-x11-drv-mga are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which add this enhancement.

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 use the Red
Hat Network to apply this update are available at
