Synopsis
linuxwacom bug fix and enhancement update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated linuxwacom packages that fix several bugs and add various
enhancements are now available.
Description
The Linux Wacom Project manages the drivers, libraries, and documentation
for configuring and running Wacom tablets under the Linux operating system.
It contains diagnostic applications, as well as X.Org XInput drivers.
These updated linuxwacom packages provide fixes for the following bugs:
- a problem with user-noticable jitter when performing fine-detail work on
a Wacom Cintiq tablet has been fixed in these updated packages.
- when using a Wacom Cintiq tablet, pressing one of the express keys when
the stylus was in close proximity to the screen caused the express key to
become stuck in the pressed state, which it turn caused stylus input to be
ignored until it was moved away from close vicinity of the screen. In these
updated packages, the express keys no longer become stuck in the pressed
state and therefore stylus input is not ignored, thus resolving the problem.
In addition, these updated packages provide the following enhancements:
- the wacomcpl and xsetwacom configuration utilities, as well as the xidump
and wacdump diagnostic tools, have been added to these updated linuxwacom
packages.
- support has been added to these updated linuxwacom packages for the Wacom
Cintiq 20WSX, as well as the Wacom Intuos3 12x19, 12x12 and 4x6 tablets.
Users are advised to upgrade to these updated linuxwacom packages, which
resolve these issues and add these enhancements.
