Wacom Tablet Support¶
The Graphics Agent for Linux supports Wacom tablets in two configurations: bridged, where peripheral data is sent to the desktop for processing, and locally terminated, where peripheral data is processed locally at the PCoIP Tera2 Zero Client.
Locally terminated Wacom tablets are much more responsive and tolerate high-latency connections, but require a PCoIP Tera2 Zero Client with current firmware.
Locally Terminated Wacom Tablets¶
Locally-terminated tablets have greatly improved responsiveness, and tolerate higher-latency (including 25ms and higher) networks.
Local termination requires:
-
A Graphics Agent for Linux version 2.15 or higher.
-
One of the following clients (refer to the next table for specific client support):
-
PCoIP Tera2 Zero Client with firmware version 6.2.0 or higher
-
PCoIP Software Client for Windows, version 19.11 or higher
-
PCoIP Software Client for Linux, version 20.01 or higher
-
Caution: Using Wacom Local Termination on Ubuntu Cloud Hosts
Cloud-based Ubuntu hosts may fail to properly handle locally terminated Wacom tablets. When this occurs, pressure sensitivity and other advanced features will not work properly. To correct this issue, follow this procedure.
The following Wacom tablet models have been tested and are supported with local termination on a PCoIP Tera2 Zero Client:

Important: Touch is not supported
Touch features of Wacom devices are not supported with local termination.
Other Wacom tablets may work, but have not been tested and should not be used in production environments.
Bridged Wacom Tablets¶
Bridged Wacom tablets are supported only in low-latency environments. Tablets in network environments with greater than 25ms latency will show reduced responsiveness and are not recommended.
The following Wacom tablet models have been tested and are supported with a PCoIP Tera2 Zero Client, a PCoIP Software Client for Windows or a PCoIP Software Client for macOS:
