RHEA-2011:1625 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

A new wdaemon package is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The new wdaemon package contains a daemon to wrap input driver hotplugging in
the X.Org implementation of the X Window System server. The wdaemon package
emulates virtual input devices to avoid otherwise non-persistent configuration
of Wacom tablets to persist across device removals.

This enhancement update adds the wdaemon package to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

All users who require wdaemon should install this new package.
