Working fine Mageia 4 i586.

Whiteboard: (none) => MGA4-32-OK

Comment 2 Lewis Smith 2015-05-06 14:43:22 CEST 
MGA4 x64 real hardware with AMD/ATI/Radeon video.

Having just
 x11-server-1.14.5-2.4.mga4
 x11-server-common-1.14.5-2.4.mga4
and using my system with graphics-oriented applications, nothing untoward noticed.
I would rather see more testers trying this update, but am OKing it anyway.

It was just a tiny patch (and one that's already in Cauldron).  Should be fine.
