RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Doc Text:
The operating system always assumes Wacom Expresskeys Remote mode 1 when booting The Wacom Expresskeys Remote (EKR) is a standalone device and thus can be switched to any operating mode when the operating system (OS) boots. Currently, however, the OS always assumes that the EKR is set to mode 1 upon boot. Consequently, the EKR is not synchronized with the OS when the EKR mode was not set to 1 prior to system boot. To work around this problem, set the EKR to mode 1 before starting the OS.

Description Michael Boisvert 2017-06-02 16:06:07 UTC 
Description of problem: Because the EKR is a standalone device, the modes for the touchring can be switched without having your system on. Whatever mode the EKR is set to upon booting 7.4, the system assumes it is "mode 1." 

How reproducible: 100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set EKR to mode 3 before booting 7.4.
2. Open Wacom Settings, select map buttons.
3. The map buttons GUI shows "mode 1" as the current mode even though the LED on the EKR is indicating "mode 3."

Actual results: Out of sync modes/leds.

Expected results: The system picks up whatever mode the EKR is in upon booting, or forces it to mode 1 once the driver is loaded.

Reassigning. libwacom is a descriptive library only, a wrapper around a bunch of text files. It doesn't change or query the tablet state at all. The xorg-x11-drv-wacom driver is at least in theory in control of the EKR
