Wacom ExpressKeys supports the fairly recent additions of ExpressKeys, Touch Strips, and a Scroll Wheel on certain Wacom tablets. Specifically the Cintiq 21UX Interactive Pen Display, the Intuos3, and the Graphire4 tablets are supported through the XInput and XTest extensions in X.

Using "xsetwacom", it can also provide an automatic change of stylus pressure sensitivity (a.k.a. PressCurve) when going from one program window to the next. This feature is independent of the connected tablet model. A graphical configuration tool named "wacom-config" is under development.

What's New in This Release:
This version is a complete rewrite where a dependency on linuxwacom 0.7.5-2 or later has been added for all tablet models.
Among the new features, fine-grained control of button auto-repeat stands out, as does configurable delay times between sending of the (many) keycodes.
Touch Strips have gained repeat at the top and bottom positions.
A maximum of fifteen tablets, three of each model, and two styli per tablet can be handled concurrently.
'Models' are: nopad, Graphire4 BlueTooth, Graphire4, Intuos3 small, and Intuos3/Cintiq.
