Doc Text:
Cause: Raw events did not contain relative axis values as they should. Introduced by backport of an upstream bug. Consequence: Clients relying on relative values for functioning would not behave as expected Fix: set the values to the original driver values instead of the already transformed values.

Description of problem:
Raw events do not contain relative values.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46976

Introduced by upstream commit 4e52cc0ef48145134cd58d357fb7289e6f8bb709 which was backported for Bug #783505.

Proposed fix upstream: http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/9595/

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.10.4-14.el6

How reproducible:
Test program attached in freedesktop bugzilla.
  
Actual results:
The first value of raw events is always absolute.

Expected results:
Raw events from relative device (e.g. mice) should have both values in raw events as relative events.
