RHBA-2011:0341 - Bug Fix Advisory

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)

this update, calibration now succeeds. (BZ#642915)

updated packages, which resolve these issues.
