Chapter 1. Package Updates
unnecessary inconvenience when attempting to suspend using the hotkey combination. The updated
packages add the correct mapping rules, which enable the Fn+F1 key combination.
* when HAL checked for ttyS devices, it would abend if /sys/class/tty/ttyS* existed but /dev/ttyS* was
removed or modified. Customers using two or more PCI serial port boards (with port extension) often
implemented scripts to rename the port labels on the hardware to match the /dev/ttyS* node. HAL
checks did not correctly cater for this scenario. The updated packages check whether serial device
nodes have been manually removed.
* a missing HAL video quirk setting prevented IBM 4838-310 POS units from resuming correctly from
S3 suspend state. The updated packages include a vbe_post quirk that corrects the suspend issue.

* an incorrect parameter in /etc/udev/rules.d/90-dm.rules prevented LUKS-formatted (encrypted) USB
disks from automounting using GNOME. Customers had to mount the drive manually, or comment out
the ignore_device line in 90-dm.rules to effect the change. The updated packages fully implement this
workaround solution.
(BZ#519645
* a missing HAL suspend quirk parameter prevented owners of Lenovo ThinkPad T400 laptops
(product key 2768A96) suspending and resuming a session from a previously suspended system.
The issue presented on laptops with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3400 Series chipsets (1002:95c4), or
Intel Mobile 4 Series chipsets (8086:2a42). The updated packages fix the suspend issue by correctly
specifying the --quirk-vbe-post option for T400 machines.
All hal users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve these issues.

1.69.1. RHBA-2010:0055: bug fix update
Note
This update has already been released (prior to the GA of this release) as FASTRACK
RHBA-2010:0055
errata
An updated hmaccalc package that fixes a self-test bug related to binary prelinking is now available.
The hmaccalc package contains tools to calculate HMAC (Hash-based Message Authentication Code)
values for files. The names and interfaces were designed to mimic those of the sha1sum, sha256sum,
sha384sum and sha512sum tools provided by the coreutils package.
This updated hmaccalc package fixes the following bug:
* each time one of the tools in the hmaccalc package is used, it performs a self-test by comparing the
checksum of its own binary with the value which was computed when the binary package was built.
However, if an hmaccalc binary had been prelinked using the "prelink" command, and that command
was not located in one of the directories listed in the PATH environment variable, then that binary
