I would like to use the multitouch xinput driver (xserver-xorg-input-multitouch) with absolute axes, but I could not find any man file.

Example:

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "eGalax virtual class"
        MatchProduct "eGalaxTouch Virtual Device"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        **Driver "multitouch"
        Option "IgnoreRelativeAxes" "True"** 
EndSection

I have same problem with Nook Color on which touchscreen is behaving like huge trackpad: blog.rot13.org/2012/08/… From looking in sources of various multi-touch implementation for xorg, I concluded that xf86-input-mtrack is most complete (with all options configurable), but none of them are sending absolute X events, mostly because they go through libmt which returns just offsets in x and y direction. – dpavlin Aug 14 '12 at 10:56
