All xinput does is set the "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" for the
device (the server provides this for all absolute devices). The actual
values are desktop-size related, so you'll need to calculate it based on the 
randr settings.

Have a look at the xinput code (map_output_xrandr), that should be fairly
self-explanatory.
