Pretty simple linear scaling and axis inversion for touchscreens. Nothing complex. Just calculate 
the max/min points based on some calibration, scale them up to 16 bit values and feed them to 
windows using a mouse movement message.

Not really. Touchscreen drivers and mouse drives co-exist. Just send the movement down the touch 
screen line and the clicks down the PS2 line. Simple.

I'm using VNC only, so there is no grab/un-grab.

Now I at least I have it working so it's not such an issue, but it is annoying. I'll think about it 
a bit more as it's getting serious daily use now.
