RHEA-2013:0333 - libwacom enhancement update

Synopsis

libwacom enhancement update

Type/Severity

Product Enhancement Advisory (none)

Topic

Updated libwacom packages that add one enhancement are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The libwacom packages contain a library that provides access to a tablet model database. The libwacom packages expose the contents of this database to applications, allowing for tablet-specific user interfaces. The libwacom packages allow the GNOME tools to automatically configure screen mappings and calibrations, and provide device-specific configurations.

This update adds the following enhancement:

  • Previously, the Wacom Cintiq 22HD graphics tablet was not supported by the libwacom library. Consequently, this specific type of graphics tablet was not recognized by the system. This update adds the support for Wacom Cintiq 22HD, which can be now used without complications. (BZ#857073)

All users of libwacom are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which add this enhancement.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/11258
