yes, but no :)
idea is right, implementation needs work. Please send this as a patch for
better comments. Most notably, you don't need GetPointerEventsM, just change GPE to take
the mask bits and fix up the callers in the DDXs.

there's Add support for per-axis valuator modes (Relative/Absolute) in the
current tree, few issues with it, please send the patch.

no. see the other thread, still typing.

I'm not sure at all about this. I was hoping to abstract the slots so we
don't need to expose thos to the clients.
