...yes. Is there any problem with just doing that?

See e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_arithmetic on fixed
point numbers.

In xinput.h, xcb_input_fp1616_t is a typedef for int32_t. So, you can do
the conversion e.g. via:

  float f = wire_value / 65536.0

Since the code that you sent already does this: What is your actual problem?

Cheers,
Uli
