I've built a new release which contains numerous fixes incorporated since the Red Hat Linux 9 release, the highlights of which are: - Many Radeon driver bug fixes and enhancements which fix many bugs reported in bugzilla, as well as many other issues reported upstream. - *NEW* support for ATI Radeon IGP integrated chipsets - *NEW* support for ATI Radeon 9200 Pro - Improved Radeon DDC monitor detection - Various patches that speed up RPM rebuilding time up to 10% And a whole whackload of stuff that I don't want to point form itemize since I'm including the RPM changelog here which details it all anyway. These RPMS should work in Red Hat Linux 9, and I request that any bugs people have filed that are found to be fixed in this release (or any future releases as well), please go in bugzilla and update your bug report to indicate that the problem has been fixed. If there are any new bugs found, please also report them in bugzilla: http://bugzilla.redhat.com http://bugs.xfree86.org Also, if you've reported a bug before, and you upgrade and test this release (or any future releases), and the problem is still present, please update the bug report to indicate that the problem still exists in 4.3.0-5, and include any updated details or other information, new log files, config files, etc. that might be helpful in finding a future resolution. You can download the RPMs of this release from: ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/testing/9/XFree86/4.3.0-5 Download _all_ of them, and upgrade using: rpm -Uvh XFree86-*.rpm Here is the detailed RPM changelog: * Thu Apr 24 2003 Mike A. Harris <mharris@xxxxxxxxxx> 4.3.0-5 - Removed XFree86-4.0.1-alpha-pcibus-lemming.patch as it is not clear what it actually does, is not documented anywhere what if any bug it fixes, and nobody remembers what it was for, and we have not applied it for quite a while now either. - Added XFree86-4.3.0-radeon-irq-gen-lockup-from-cvs.patch which works around a lockup that can occur on server shutdown/restart with the radeon driver due to bugs in DRM IRQ handling in the kernel - Added XFree86-4.3.0-radeon-support-from-ATI-backport-from-CVS.patch which is an amalgamation of patches done by Hui Yu at ATI which implement: Radeon IGP320/330/340 support (2D only), RV280 (9200/M9+) support, Fix for some M9 laptop panels, Improved version of monitor detection code, Fixed bug for two or more radeon cards, Man page updates, Workaround for double scan modes problem at high resolutions, Overlay scaling problem when RMX is used, and also PPC updates for Radeon from Michel Daenzer - Replaced XFree86-4.2.99.902-ati-radeon-alan-legacy-vga.patch with new XFree86-4.3.0-redhat-radeon-forcelegacyvga-for-alan.patch reimplementation around the new radeon driver code. Needs testing by Alan. * Tue Apr 22 2003 Mike A.

Harris <mharris@xxxxxxxxxx> 4.3.0-3.9 - Renamed TinyX subpackage to kdrive - Made all kdrive X servers setuid root in filelists * Sat Apr 19 2003 Mike A.

Harris <mharris@xxxxxxxxxx> 4.3.0-3.7 - Added PPC64 support with XFree86-4.3.0-ppc64-support.patch * Sat Apr 12 2003 Mike A.

Harris <mharris@xxxxxxxxxx> 4.3.0-3.2 - Added XFree86-4.3.0-xlib-dual-malloc-memleak-lcPrTxt.c.patch which fixes a memleak in Xlib caused by double malloc. Not being applied to x86_64 yet, waiting for approval to fix (#86108) - Added XFree86-4.3.0-craptastic-cast.patch to non-x86_64, just a cosmetic casting fixup of (off_t)(off_t) to just (off_t) * Sat Mar 8 2003 Mike A. Harris <mharris@xxxxxxxxxx> 4.3.0-3.1 - Updated XFree86-4.3.0-glint-unresolved-symbols.patch to add several more missing DRM symbols that another user reported when DRI is not used. This compliments the existing symbol name additions with an even more complete list, and should fix the problems reported in bug (#85191) as well as adding to the bugfix for (#85805) - Added XFree86-4.3.0-elfloader-linux-non-exec-stack.patch to patch the XFree86 ELF loader to work properly on Linux with a kernel with a non-exec stack, however this patch is disabled on x86_64 and possibly other architectures for now * Sat Mar 8 2003 Mike A. Harris <mharris@xxxxxxxxxx> 4.3.0-3 - Added XFree86-4.3.0-ati-radeon-R300-fix-pll-value.patch which fixes a bug in the Radeon driver (on all archs) that occurs only on R300 chips (Radeon 9500/9700) due to a broken PLL define in radeon_regs.h (#85784) - Re-enabled XFree86-4.3.0-glint-unresolved-symbols.patch on x86_64 as it is approved now by msw. * Fri Mar 7 2003 Mike A. Harris <mharris@xxxxxxxxxx> 4.3.0-2.2 - Modified xdm.pamd and xserver.pamd to remove explicit paths with hard coded /lib dir, since it is in /lib64 on lib64 archs, and so pam console ownership is screwed without this change. Similar problems were fixed in September in many other packages, but no bug reports were filed in bugzilla so I was aware of this problem, so it remained broken until I just discovered it myself while trying to debug a screensaver related issue (#85795) - I have made the XFree86-4.3.0-glint-unresolved-symbols.patch patch added in 4.3.0-2.1 ifnarch x86_64 to exclude this patch from x86_64 builds, even though it is an obviously correct and harmless bugfix on all architectures and should be applied (#85805) * Sun Mar 2 2003 Mike A. Harris <mharris@xxxxxxxxxx> 4.3.0-2.1 - Added XFree86-4.3.0-glint-unresolved-symbols.patch to fix some unresolved drm symbols in the glint driver.
