Short description:

An absolute pointing device using USB HID defines a LOGICAL_MINIMUM and
a LOGICAL_MAXIMUM for X, Y axes, and then sends a HID report containing
values outside that range.

Linux kernel should ignore values outside that range, as they are not
meaningful.

To answer with a quote from the comment above input.h:"struct
input_absinfo":

 *
 * Note that input core does not clamp reported values to the
 * [minimum, maximum] limits, such task is left to userspace.
 *

to do so, use this from input.h:

#define EVIOCGABS(abs)		_IOR('E', 0x40 + (abs), struct input_absinfo)	/* get abs value/limits */
#define EVIOCSABS(abs)		_IOW('E', 0xc0 + (abs), struct input_absinfo)	/* set abs value/limits */

<SNIP>

Thanks,
