1.120.1. RHBA-2010:0261: bug fix update
Updated mesa packages that fix a bug in xorg-x11-server are now available.
Mesa provides a 3D graphics API that is compatible with OpenGL. It also provides hardware-
accelerated drivers for many popular graphics chips.
This update addresses the following issue:
* the OpenGL Extension to the X Window system (GLX) provides OpenGL functions to X Windows-
based applications. Previously, when a so-called 'GLX window' (ie a window drawn by an X Windows-
based application containing OpenGL rendered data) was re-sized horizontally on a system with
Mobile Intel 945GM Express video hardware, the X session segfaulted. As well, re-sizing such a
window vertically and then maximizing and restoring the window also caused X to segfault. This
updated mesa package includes a fix to the frambuffer code that properly signals the changed buffer
state to the driver, ensuring the driver updates its clipping and does not, as a consequence, cause X to

crash.
(BZ#536868
Note: due to the unusual build process for this package, the code fix is applied to the mesa packages,
but the resulting compiled code is in the xorg-x11-server package (see
raised against xorg-x11-server).
All users compiling their own xorg-x11-server packages should upgrade to these updated mesa
packages, which resolves this issue.

Note
This update has already been released (prior to the GA of this release) as errata
RHBA-2009:1610
An updated metacity package that fixes a raising windows bug and corrects a crash with remotely
displayed applications is now available.
Metacity is the default window manager for the GNOME desktop.
This errata fixes two bugs in the metacity package:
* some applications, mostly older Tcl/Tk and Java applications, use the old XRaiseWindow call rather
than _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW to raise a window above the currently focused window. Metacity allows
XRaiseWindow when the same application keeps focus but defines an application by its window
group. Some of these older applications also do not set the window group and, consequently, metacity
