Bug Description

We have seen that the multitouch tests are being skipped in some cases:

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/plainbox-provider-checkbox/+bug/1415358

This is not a bug in Checkbox, but expected behaviour.

The reason why those systems are skipping the touchpad tests are because their touchpad is wrongly being recognized as a mouse. This is an actual failure and should be treated as one.

The testcase could be:

 * If the system is a laptop/notebook, etc and the system does not have a recognized touchpad then:

"Ubuntu didn't recognize a touchpad in this system, is this correct?"

This should be added to both the dev test plan and the 14.04 test plan.

I will take this, since the similar feature has already been included in the T-cell tool.
