the linux kernel 2.6 and windows xp (don't know about others) support
absolute mode touchpads and touchscreens.

| I've recently aquired a Dell Laptop and it occurred to me that the

| (like a real mouse) rather than an absolute position.
|
| What I would like is when I press in the bottom left to get (0,0) and
| in the top right (100,100) (or similar).
|
| Does anyone know if this is possible or is the actual hardware wired
| to act like a mouse.
|
| cheers
