Wacom Tablets

The Standard 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 client.

Locally Terminated Wacom Tablets

Locally-terminated tablets have greatly improved responsiveness, and tolerate higher-latency (including 25ms and higher) networks.

For the best experience and most complete device support, use the latest available PCoIP agent, PCoIP software client, and PCoIP Zero Client firmware. To find out when support was added for individual Wacom device, refer to the release notes for your client.

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 mode:

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 bridged mode:

  1. Local termination for Intuos Pro Small and Intuos Pro Medium requires Tera2 Zero Client firmware 6.2.0 or higher. 

  2. Local termination for Cintiq 22HD, 22HDT, 24P, and 24PT requires Tera2 Zero Client firmware 6.5.0 or higher. 

  3. Local termination for Cintiq Pro 32PT requires Tera2 Zero Client firmware 20.04 or higher. 

  4. Launching a PCoIP session with a bridged Cintiq 22HDT (DTH-2200) and a RHEL or Rocky Linux host can cause the remote system to disconnect and become unresponsive. This issue does not occur when bridging to Ubuntu hosts.
