[DIGImend-users] CTM broken for xf86-input-evdev tablets until X Server 1.12.2?

[Favux ... <fav...@gm...>]

Hi Nick,

Several users have reported encountering the Coordinate Transformation
Matrix bug for their graphic tablet's on xf86-input-evdev (causes the
cursor to jump around).
Bugzilla – Bug 49347 (5-1-12), "Jumping tablet cursor with
transformation matrix":
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49347
DIGImend bug tracker:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3530632&group_id=233297&atid=1089171

It is not clear to me if this bug was always present or is relatively
new.  The user reports coming in seem to coincide with Ubuntu 12.04
(Precise) or Mint 13 (Maya).  And so the hybrid 1.11 and 1.12 X Server
they and Debian use.

Since Peter committed the fix on 5-16-12 I assume it is in X Server
1.12.2 (5-29-12).  Has Debian been made aware of the bug and the
upstream fix?  If so do you know if they are planning to backport the
fix?  If Ubuntu is made aware of it (don't currently see a Launchpad
bug report) and knows there is Debian fix they may backport the fix to
Precise 12.04.  Which would then get added to Mint 13 (Maya).
