RHBA-2009:0988 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated wacomexpresskeys package that fixes a bug affecting Graphire 4
tablets usage is now available.

Description

wacomexpresskeys is a configuration utility, which allows the mapping of
Wacom tablet ExpressKeys and Touch Strips to other events.

• the wacomexpresskeys spec file had an out-of-date address in its URL

field. This value has been corrected to the current address for the
expresskeys project: http://expresskeys.ruivo.org/. Note, this error had no
effect on the utility of wacomexpresskeys, although running the "rpm -qi
wacomexpresskeys" command would display the out-of-date address. Running
this command now returns the updated, and correct, address. (BZ#452988)

• ExpressKeys on Graphire 4 tablets were not properly defined in the

Graphire 4 config file. This prevented Graphire 4 ExpressKeys being used at
all. This update includes corrections and updates to the Graphire 4 config
file, ensuring ExpressKeys work as expected on Graphire 4 tablets. Amongst
other corrections, this update makes the right click and left click keys
behave as alt and shift respectively, as expected. (BZ#453014, BZ#484957)

• the README and ~/.expresskeys/[device].conf files made reference to the

'USAGE' file. This file was mistakenly not included in the previous
version. This has been corrected and USAGE is now installed to
/usr/share/doc/wacomexpresskeys-0.4.1/ as expected. (BZ#484958)

All Graphire 4 users should upgrade to these updated wacomexpresskeys
packages, which address these issues.
