we use units/m as a resolution in the X Input Extension. and that's the only
place to get the resolution for clients.
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/proto/inputproto/tree/XIproto.txt#n471

my I4 currently claims 5080 (hardcoded, wcmUSB.c), but after measuring my
tablet with 232mm and an x range of 44704, this should be a resolution of
around 192689 (200 000 would be 5080/0.0254). so this is currently wrong
anyway.
