I do wonder how many users actually use their touchpad in absolute mode.

either way, with these patches the cursor jumps back to 0/screen height
because the last four events sent by the device after releasing are
xmin/ymax, resetting the cursor. Something's not quite right there, can you
please check this again? thanks.

1.2 won't get new features. it's kinda the point of a stable branch.
