This device only generates absolute events.

In the absolute case it takes into consideration the width and height
of the screen and it also adds this value onto the x and y of the
output. So doing it  later would require us to store the relative
position e.g. (e->value - device->abs.min_x) / (device->abs.max_x -
device->abs.min_x) and then apply the scale up to to width and output
position of x at the notify point.

I'll cook up a version of the patch that applies this at the point in
the code where it does the notify..

Cheerio,

Rob
