A new test release of XFree86 (3.3.6-23.0.6x) is now available
for Red Hat Linux 6.2 beta testers, developers, and other users.
This release has been made in order to test bug fixes, and other
updates and enhancements, etc. that have been applied to the XFree86
packages since the last public release of XFree86 for Red Hat Linux
6.2.
Some changes include:
- Updated to the latest XFree86 3.3.6 code from the stable branch of
XFree86 CVS (xf-3_3-branch).
- More than 50 bug fixes from the XFree86 CVS for various hardware, etc.
- Adds Intel i815 chip support
- Many security fixes.
(Read the CHANGELOG file in the source package for full detailed list)
Disclaimer: This release is an unofficial unsupported "test" release
which should not be used on critical production systems or systems
containing important data. Use these software packages completely
at your own risk.
If you experience any problems with this release, please fill out
a complete bug report against the "XFree86" component of "Rawhide"
using the Red Hat bugzilla bug tracking system located at:
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla
Be sure to attach to the bugzilla report a full copy of your XFree86
configuration file /etc/X11/XF86config, as well as any XFree86
error logs from /var/log/XFree86.?.log as this will help speed up the
troubleshooting process.
Also, to avoid duplication of effort, please be sure to query the
bugzilla database first to make sure the problem has not been
reported by someone else already. If you do find a report similar
to the problem you are having, please add information to that report
rather than filing a new bug report.
DO *NOT* SEND BUG REPORTS IN VIA EMAIL - they will most likely be
deleted and ignored. Due to the volume of email received, as well as
many other factors, it is not possible to handle email bug reports in
a unified and organized manner, which is why bugzilla has been put in
place.
If a bug is important to you, please take the time to fill out a
proper bug report if you'd like the problem addressed. The idea here
is to "Help us to help you." Remember: "If it is not in bugzilla,
it is not a bug."
That said, the new test packages are available, as always, on my
personal public ftp space located at:
ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/xfree86
Thanks for your participation in our development process!
