Updated libx11 and libxcb packages fix integer type mismatch

Publication date: 29 Sep 2015
Modification date: 29 Sep 2015
Type: bugfix
Affected Mageia releases : 5

Description

An application that uses libX11 to do a lot of drawing could eventually crash
with an XIOError, due to an integer type mismatch in the Xorg libraries
(fdo#71338).

The libx11 package has been updated to version 1.6.3 and patched to correct
this issue and several other bugs.  The libxcb package has been updated to
version 1.11.1, which is needed by the patched libx11.
