On this topic.  I'd like to start reporting resolution for a few wacom
devices.

When I looked at input_absinfo.resolution, I see only synaptics.c is
using it right now and it is defined using units/mm.  Currently, this
makes it up to xf86-input-synaptics were X is fed this value after
converting to units/meter.  Thats my intended usage as well.

I'm more used to values in inches (lpi) or at least something higher
then mm.  If I converted my lpi to mm for resolution I'd lose some
accuracy.

We could solve that a few ways.  Provide units in input_absinfo,
convert to units/inch, units/cm or even units/meter, or define
physical size in mm.

Any preferences?
