There is a fair amount of confusion in this thread! The maXTouch chips 
can work in i2c or USB HID mode. The evtest log was from the USB HID 
mode. The atmel_mxt_ts.c driver is only for i2c. So it's impossible that 
the changes that Chase is suggesting would have any effect.

Some more dmesg output would be useful, but it sounds like it's using 
the generic HID driver.

Hardcoding relative/absolute in the driver is a bit of a red herring 
since it depends on the particular hardware device as to what it's being 
used for.
