Hmm. So, after examining the evtest data more carefully, I'm
wondering about the absolute->relative conversion. For example,
here's a grep of the relevant events:

So, it seems to me that when the value increases, the pointer moves
right, but when the value decreases, it moves left. What I'd like
to see is for the pointer to move right while the value is positive,
and left while it's negative. Is there an option for that?
no, not really. we treat the axis values as-is and don't modify them much.
even if you switch the device to relative mode you might get some better use
of it, but it'll be pretty unpredictable once pointer acceleration comes in.
Interesting. I'm pretty sure that with the last version of xorg I was
using, it worked much more like a mouse (I think probably like I suggested
above); I recall I had to turn off pointer acceleration, because that was
causing problems. The reason I don't go back to that is that (IIRC), it
didn't support all the extra axes that I wanted. This may've been pre-XInput2
or something.

Peter has indicated privately that he'd be happy for someone to
implement this, but he doesn't have the time himself. I'm not sure I will
either, but if it looks like you will, let me know, just to ensure we're not
both working on it.
