Description Pascal Germroth 2009-01-17 10:55:29 UTC 
Currently, when generating events from an absolute-coordinate device (i.e. a tablet), in SDL applications the cursor immediately jumps into a screen corner.

SDL should provide absolute coordinates for every mouse event (appropriately scaled to the current screen resolution) and wrap XInput (and likewise interfaces) to provide pressure & tilt data (if the device supports it)
