RHEA-2009:1384 - Product Enhancement Advisory
Synopsis
linuxwacom enhancement update
Type/Severity
Product Enhancement Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
New linuxwacom packages that provide new features 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 packages include the following enhancements:
- serial tablets commonly found in tablet laptops were not recognized
as tablets. The udev rules have been modified to create symbolic links,
which adds serial tablet support. (BZ#483827)
- wacomcpl did not show a specific pointer device in the title bar of a
submenu when a tool was edited. (That is, the title bar showed 'Tool
Buttons' rather than 'Stylus Tool Buttons' when the Stylus tool was
selected.) The device is now shown in the submenu title bar so that users
can easily see which device is being edited. (BZ#485942)
Wacom tablet users who wish to use these features should upgrade to
these new packages, which add the required support.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
