Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

Updated xorg-x11-drv-wacom and wacomcpl packages that resolve several issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The xorg-x11-drv-wacom package provides an X Window System input device driver that allows the X server to handle Wacom tablets with extended functionality.

The wacomcpl package provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for the xorg-x11-drv-wacom X input device driver.

These updated xorg-x11-drv-wacom and wacomcpl packages provide fixes for the following bugs:

  • Changing the screen mapping caused the wacompl GUI to become unresponsive. With this update, changing the screen mapping works as expected. (BZ#675908)
