Some pointing devices actually report absolute position as part of their 
packet stream.  Some examples:

 - Synaptics Touchpad
 - Various PS/2 touchscreen input drivers
 - Any USB HID-compliant device can

The first two require a "knocking" protocol to unlock the absolute 
positioning data.  Only the third has built-in support in Windows.
