did you check the bsd_mouse.c from our XFree86 also? I don't know if
anything there is significant but I had to add the W direction recently
and I noticed that the absolute pointer had not been carried through to
xorg. (there was something about ABSOLUTE_Z and ABSOLUTE_W there but I'm
not sure if they make sense?)

Its probably worth pushing the addition upstream though I made a ticket
about it (http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8993) but it has not
been touched.  Do we have any insiders at X.org?
