I would like to take the chance to clarify a question. This pretty much 
doubles what is in here:

typedef struct _AbsoluteClassRec {
     /* Calibration. */
     int         min_x;
     int         max_x;
     int         min_y;
     int         max_y;
     int         flip_x;
     int         flip_y;
     int		rotation;
     int         button_threshold;

     /* Area. */
     int         offset_x;
     int         offset_y;
     int         width;
     int         height;
     int         screen;
     XID		following;
} , *AbsoluteClassPtr;

All that crap gets initialized, copied, whatever, it's just not made use 
of. This led me to give Soeren the bogus advice so use it, but it seems 
not really possible. What's the state of this Xinput part? Deprecated or 
incomplete?
