Synopsis

xorg-x11-drv-wacom bug fix and enhancement update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

Updated xorg-x11-drv-wacom packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The xorg-x11-drv-wacom packages contain the X.Org X11 input drivers for Wacom graphics tablets.

The xorg-x11-drv-wacom package has been upgraded to upstream version 0.16.1, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version. (BZ#835266)

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Due to a bug in the input driver, covering the Expresskeys on the Wacom Intuos5 graphics tablet caused a spurious stylus jump to the upper left corner (0,0). This bug has been fixed and the described issue no longer occurs. (BZ#859851)

• Previously, the xorg.conf configuration file with two devices containing the same input node caused a double free error and subsequent failure of the X server. With this update, xorg.conf has been fixed, and the server crash is now prevented. (BZ#862939)

This update also adds the following enhancements:

• With this update, support for the Wacom Intuos5 series graphics tablets has been added to the xorg-x11-drv-wacom package. (BZ#838751)

• With this update, support for the Wacom Cintiq 22HD series graphics tablets has been added to the xorg-x11-drv-wacom package. (BZ#857088)

All users of xorg-x11-drv-wacom are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs and add these enhancements.
