RHBA-2009:1111 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated wdaemon package that fixes a bug is now available.

Description

wdaemon is a helper application which emulates persistent input devices for
Wacom tablets so as to allow them to be plugged-in and unplugged while an
X.org server is running.

This updated wdaemon package fixes the following bug:

• when starting the wdaemon service, the startup script printed an

extraneous line giving the version of the program. This has been corrected
in this updated package so that the wdaemon startup script is silent and
thus conforms to the behavior of other daemon initialization scripts.
(BZ#489050)

All users of wdaemon are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves this issue.
