It looks like the Synaptics emulation would require an additional driver 
on the Windows side, but Linux/X should support it (and detect it) 
natively.  I wonder how hard it is to write a mouse (or mouse filter 
driver) for Windows to support this sort of device. 

Two other possiblities might be to use the host/guest interface, or to 
implement USB support and create a HID mouse driver with absolute 
positioning support.
