My laptop run windows 8 but it's 4 years old and when I got it it was on windows vista D:

I have to get the absolute position of a finger on the touchpad rather than just relative movement.

the synaptics driver doesn't do this, but the evdev driver does. So you need to configure your X server to use the evdev driver for the touchpad instead. The following configuration snippet will do that for you provided you're running server 1.8 or later.

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "evdev touchpad"
    MatchIsTouchpad "on"
    Driver "evdev"
    Option "Mode" "absolute"
EndSection

Save this as /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-evdev-touchpad.conf and restart the server. Note that this only changes the behaviour of the touchpad itself, not the data in the events but then again that data is always absolute anyway. Also, by using evdev instead of synaptics you're losing the ability for two-finger scrolling, tapping, etc.

maybe incompatible touchpad?
is your touchpad a synaptics touchpad and using the synaptics driver?

Well, first it's Alps, after I installed the driver, it became synaptic. Is that the problem?

cat /proc/bus/input/devices

idk, try googling it

I did a calibration because i don't know if the values are the same on each touchpad (they were so random, so it can fit any synaptic touchpad with manual calibration (you can add an .ini to save values and more ))
Was going to do a panel like Wacom one but no one look interested in the soft ^^'

I'm quite a bit late to the party but Windows Defender blocked this from being download because it "found malware"
looking further into it, it says it detected Trojan:Win32/Spursint.F!cl

Whether or not this was intentional or something that happened to me and me only, I don't know; but be wary.
