Without some sort of hack I don't think you can do that without
extending the API.  The current API sends either single absolute events
or single relative events, with no way to associate a given event with a
given touch point.  I suppose with an X11 guest you could send both
absolute and relative events and treat them as two different touch
points of the same device if you fiddled with the driver setup enough.
Windows guests will not even let you do that, as the absolute event
driver disables relative events (or rather it relies on dummy events
send through the relative device to work).

Regards,

Michael
