Wacom touchscreen touch aligned relative instead of absolute

[Tomas]

After a fresh install of the latest 12.04 beta on my HP EliteBook 2760p I noticed my touchscreen isn't working as it should: while the stylus and eraser are indeed aligned absolute (i.e. the mouse jumps to where the stylus touches the screen), the touch is aligned as relative (i.e. when I press my finger on the screen, nothing happens until I move my finger; it works just like my mousepad).

Since it's a touchscreen I was expecting that the finger touch works the same as the stylus and eraser.

Workaround: in the terminal, enter

xsetwacom --set "Serial Wacom Tablet touch" mode Absolute

Note that I'm not sure if the package reported is correct. If it isn't let me know and I'll add the information required.

Cheers!
