dont. set up the valuator ranges correctly and the server will scale to screen
coordinates for core events (Unless you're using some version of 1.4.0 which
had that particular bug).

proximity events are a signal to clients that the device is - well, in
proximity. there is no visible effect unless a client decides to render one.

you don't dispatch valuator events. You dispatch pointer/proximity/key events,
and the server does the valuator events for you (if necessary). And of course,
only dispatch pointer events when you get data from the device.
