More generally, I'm looking for a device that appears to have absolute positioning of the mouse pointer - and here's the crucial thing: without having installed a driver.
The reason I ask is because of my project, TashKM, which seeks to make it possible for classic macs to be part of an extended desktop, Synergy (or Barrier) style, and this idea sort of requires the ability to absolutely position the mouse pointer. There is a suggestion in this appnote that it's possible, using the extended mouse protocol, for a device to represent itself as a graphics tablet with absolute positioning. The trouble is that it doesn't seem to work; movement appears to be relative in spite of the graphics tablet device class.
You don't have to be willing to sell, just (hopefully) to run the ADB Parser tool off one of the dev CDs (I'll find it) or something like that. Honestly, knowing whether it's even possible at this point would be valuable.
Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
