patch adds a condition that the updates are used only with the Pilot1 chipset, and no longer causes
display issues.
(BZ#518997
* When kernel panic was initiated on a machine with a Matrox video controller, the system would
freeze and fail to generate a vmcore. This was caused by a bug in DDC1 (Display Data Channel)
support or the Matrox G200eW video card. The DDC1 support that caused the problem has been
removed. The vmcore file now generates correctly.
Users are advised to upgrade to this updated xorg-x11-drv-mga package which resolves these issues.

1.226. xorg-x11-drv-nv

1.226.1. RHBA-2010:0204: bug fix and enhancement update
An updated xorg-x11-drv-nv package that fixes a bug and adds support for Quadro FX 770M,
FX1800M and 880M GPUs is now available.
xorg-x11-drv-nv provides a driver for NVIDIA cards for the X.org implementation of the X Window
System.
This update resolves the following issue:
* previously, xorg-x11-drv-nv specified no explicit range for offscreen Pixmaps. On rare occasions, this
caused X to crash with a sig 11 error when Firefox 3.5.x attempted to load certain, specific, web pages
(eg http://adorama.com). With this update, explicit 512 pixel limits have been placed on offscreen
Pixmap width and height. Consequently, xorg-x11-drv-nv no longer causes X to crash when Firefox 3.5
loads the specified pages.
This update also adds the following enhancements:
* previously, the NVIDIA cards that used the Quadro FX 770M GPU were driven as generic VESA-
compliant video cards. With this update, the xorg-x11-drv-nv driver adds Quadro FX 770M support.
Amongst other improvements, Quadro FX 770M-based cards now support multi-head setups.
