Wacom mouse proximity is broken

Bug Description

This is related to Ubuntu Feisty.

The problem is that the mouse moves the cursor even when it's a centimeter from the pad, making it barely usable.

I installed the package wacom-kernel-source, compiled wacom.ko and installed it, and the problem went away. So I think there is a mismatch between wacom module and xorg driver versions. In every distribution I used there is a mismatch between kernel and xorg drivers, always forcing me to compile from sources.

So I recommend removing the wacom module from the kernel package, and providing an aditional package that installs the kernel module compiled from the same sources as the xorg driver (that currently exits). This would solve a lot of wacom problems out there, not only this.
