Subject: [PATCH 112/173] Input: xen-kbdfront - advertise either absolute or relative coordinates

2.6.27.59-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Olaf Hering <olaf@...fle.de>

commit 8c3c283e6bf463ab498d6e7823aff6c4762314b6 upstream.

A virtualized display device is usually viewed with the vncviewer
application, either by 'xm vnc domU' or with vncviewer localhost:port.
vncviewer and the RFB protocol provides absolute coordinates to the
virtual display. These coordinates are either passed through to a PV
guest or converted to relative coordinates for a HVM guest.

A PV guest receives these coordinates and passes them to the kernels
evdev driver. There it can be picked up by applications such as the
xorg-input drivers. Using absolute coordinates avoids issues such as
guest mouse pointer not tracking host mouse pointer due to wrong mouse
acceleration settings in the guests X display.

Advertise either absolute or relative coordinates to the input system
and the evdev driver, depending on what dom0 provides. The xorg-input
driver prefers relative coordinates even if a devices provides both.
