Description:


   This collective update for xorg-x11-server provides the following fixes:

       * Fix a segmentation fault that can occur when X11 packets are
         forwarded between a client and a server with different endianess.
         (bnc#874903)
       * Free software cursor backing pixmap when transition between screens.
         This fixes a crash in multi screen support when an assert gets hit.
         (bnc#880835)
       * Ignore numlock in Xvnc. Following keys from VNC client will be
         already modulated by numlock on client side. (bnc#878446)
       * Fix crash when Xinerama gets disabled after RanR12 is initialized.
         (bnc#878433)
       * Prevent crash at the end of 2nd server generation when number of
         privates differ between 1st and 2nd. (bnc#883598)
       * Move Xinerama disable when only one screen is present to main loop.
         (bnc#883598)
       * Improve Xinerama command line option handling. (bnc#883598)
       * Work around a possible crash when object belongs to a client that no
         longer exists. (bnc#883516)
       * Try to make keyboard bell ring on all devices attached to master
         keyboard. (bnc#879019)
       * Implement DeleteInputDeviceRequest in Xvnc to avoid server crash
         when the Xserver restarts after a server reset. (bnc#880745).
