/dev/input/mouseX and /dev/input/mice are inherently relative. The code that
you provided basically shows that mousedev.o only tries to associate with
input devices that have relative axes, and devices that have absolute X and Y
axes - ie mice and touchpads. The output is always relative.
Two options:
1. Use the event output driver, and manage the absolute output in userspace
(eg using a X driver attached to /dev/input/eventX). There is some code in
the Linuxconsole CVS, I think.
2. Use the touchpad output driver (only in linuxconsole CVS). Seen it, not
looked in detail or used it.
