7. Problem description:

XFree86 3.3.5 has become available, which features a large number
of bug fixes, a greater number of supported video cards, and security
improvements.  Thanks go to Branden Robinson <branden@debian.org> for
discovering a possible symlink attack in the xkb extension initialization
at server startup time.

A short summary of improvements in XFree86 3.3.4/3.3.5:

Support for S3 Savage4 and Savage3D on x86; Support for S3 Trio3D/2X;
Mach64 server bugfixes; PS/2 Mouse problem fixes; Rendition server
fixes; Intel i740 support (donated by Precision Insight); SiS 530 and
SiS 620 support; 3Dfx Voodoo Banshee and Voodoo3 support; Trident
Blade3D, CyberBlade and Cyber9525 support; S3 Trio3D support; Matrox
G400 support; NVIDIA Riva TNT2 support and better acceleration for all
Riva chipsets (donated by NVIDIA); Rewritten Cyrix MediaGX support
(donated by Cyrix); Updates and new hardware support (Acecad flair,
Calcomp DrawingBoard) for xinput extension; Bug fixed for cards with
S3 Aurora64V+ (M65) chip (VGA output should now work).

(1999-09-16) The MediaGX driver included in the 3.3.4 and 3.3.5
XFree86 releases is highly buggy.  For this reason, we have reverted
to the driver included in XFree86 3.3.3.1.  Patches have also been
applied to correct problems with some Trident cards and with SiS 6326
cards.


8. Solution:

Upgrade to the latest errata release of XFree86 for Red Hat Linux on
your particular platform.  For each RPM for your particular
architecture, run:

rpm -Uvh <filename>

where filename is the name of the RPM.  In some circumstances, you may
be required to add --force and/or --nodeps to the rpm command line
options to insure a proper upgrade. Add these options if the command
line given gives an error.  You should upgrade at least the core
XFree86 package, the font server (xfs) package, the libraries, and the
server for your video card.

If you download all of the XFree86 updates into a directory and then
execute the command:

rpm -UvhF *.rpm

only the RPMs that you already have installed will be upgraded.
