Yes, if I disable absolute coordinates.
In order to fix the wheel problem it is sufficient to add:

+       input_set_capability(ptr, EV_REL, REL_WHEEL);

The following is a rebased version of your patch plus the small
correction on the latest 2.6.38 RC, I am going to send it upstream if
you don't mind.

From: Olaf Hering <olaf@xxxxxxxxx>

A virtualized display device is usually viewed with the vncviewer
application, either by 'xm vnc domU' or with vncviewer localhost:port.
vncviewer and the RFB protocol provides absolute coordinates to the
virtual display. These coordinates are either passed through to a PV
guest or converted to relative coordinates for a HVM guest.

A PV guest receives these coordinates and passes them to the kernels
evdev driver. There it can be picked up by applications such as the
xorg-input drivers. Using absolute coordinates avoids issues such as
guest mouse pointer not tracking host mouse pointer due to wrong mouse
acceleration settings in the guests X display.

Advertise either absolute or relative coordinates to the input system
and the evdev driver, depending on what dom0 provides. The xorg-input
driver prefers relative coordinates even if a devices provides both.
