Synopsis

Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated wdaemon package that fixes a bug and adds an enhancement is now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
wdaemon is a helper application that emulates persistent input devices for Wacom
tablets. This allows such devices to be plugged in and unplugged while an X
Window System server is running.
This update fixes the following bug:
- On a tablet PC that is detected as a tablet by wdaemon, the presence of a
serial tablet caused the "wacom -a" command to fail with the following error:
Error retrieving device id: Invalid argument
With this update, an upstream patch has been applied to correct the detection of
such device, and running the above command now produces the expected results.
(BZ#504332)
As well, this update adds the following enhancement:
- The wdaemon package has been updated to add the support for Wacom Cintiq 21UX2
devices. (BZ#652740)
Users of Wacom Cintiq 21UX2 devices are advised to upgrade to this updated
package, which adds this enhancement.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
