** Description changed:

  The 0.8.6 linuxwacom are needed to fix a bug in the 0.8.4 drivers in the
  Intrepid repositories, where the input freeze for some users (most
  TabletPC users and a few Wacom tablet users).
  
  The patches would be hard to track (see Bryce Harrington's opinion in
  ubuntu-x, last two paragraphs at
  https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-x/2008-November/000253.html for
  the reasons an SRU wouldn't be accepted), and since the 0.8.4 drivers
  are still ok for Wacom tablet users, a backport looks like a good
  solution.
  
  At the moment, many users have to compile the drivers and install them
  by hand, and that encourages the idea that all Wacom users have to do so
  in Intrepid to get their tablet working - which can often be harmful for
  inexperienced users.
  
  The backported packages build without source modifications and work on
  my Intrepid amd64 install.
  
  Please test these packages and report if they work for you too (remember
  you still need wacom configuration in xorg.conf, which still has to be
  done manually.
+ 
+ Instructions on how to install the packages and configure your
+ /etc/xorg.conf are available at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wacom
+ and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WacomTroubleshooting

** Summary changed:

- Please backport wacom-tools 0.8.6 from Jaunty to Intrepid
+ Please backport wacom-tools 0.8.6 from Jaunty to Intrepid (replaces Intrepid's 0.8.4)

** Changed in: intrepid-backports
       Status: New => Confirmed
