The Synaptics touchpad has a special register sequence that switches it 
to absolute-reporting mode.  The bonus of doing it this way is that 
Linux/XFree86-based operating systems get free absolute positioning 
support (the kernel PS/2 layer has touchpad support built in).  Windows 
is the only tricky part of this implementation.
