Sorry, I'm new. What's absolute mode?
I'll try to explain it the best way I know :p
With traditional touchpads, when you move your finger in a direction on the touchpad, the cursor goes that far.
If the cursor is at the top left of the screen, and you drag your finger from the bottom left of the touchpad to the bottom right, the cursor will either move the entire distance or only part way (but it should be still at the top of the screen either way).
With absolute mode, your touchpad acts like a touchscreen or tablet, as in, wherever your finger is, the cursor will be there.
If the cursor is at the bottom left of the screen and you put your finger at the top right corner of the touchpad, your cursor will snap to the top right of the screen. Then if you put your finger back to the bottom left of the touchpad, the cursor will snap back down there. You can also drag your finger on the touchpad for cursor placement too (if you drag your finger from top left to bottom right, the cursor on your screen should go from the top left to the bottom right, passing the center of the screen when your finger passes the center of the touchpad).
If your interested in trying it out, I used
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=515 (not sure if it works on non-Synaptic touchpads or not, if it does't and you have a non-Synaptic touchpad, you might be able to use your driver's control panel to change the option)
