Bug Description

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-wacom

The wacom driver currently included in Feisty beta is 0.7.2, while the latest released one is 0.7.6-4.
The newer version supports better the most recent Wacom tablets and allows pressure sensitivity under wine with those.
It also should have some improvements in tablet-PCs

The tablet applications at http://alexmac.cc/tablet-apps/ also require a more recent wacom-tools.

Moreover, wacom driver >= 0.7.4 is necessary for usb tablet to be hotpluggable. At the moment in Ubuntu, if you unplug your USB tablet then plug it again, you have to restart X. 0.7.4 was already out when Dapper shipped.
