OUCH. We need to fix this _now_. We can not allow reporting resolutions in random units. Since we started with unit/mm we have to keep it and if it gives issues we can think about adding other units later on, but for everyone.
I understand your concerns, but this will make this feature useless for the 8 tablet models I was aiming it at. Most of them have 2000 LPI resolution. The thing is, I suspect, there is basicly very little to none real devices correctly specifying their resolution in the report descriptors. Plus almost no one uses the resolution field in input_absinfo currently and especially for generic processing (as opposed to working with a specific device). Even more, I have failed to find any noticeable amount of device drivers filling it in, but it could be my fault of course. So, I think, now is the best time to standardize on this and do real changes.
