Bug description:
Hi,

I have an Intel Mac Mini, a Core Duo 1.66 GHz. I'm running Ubuntu 8.04.1 on it. Hardware info: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/mac_mini/stats/mac_mini_cd_1.66.html

Mouseemu was installed by the Ubuntu installer, and was running on the machine. As a Mini is not a laptop, mouseemu caused the mouse to stop / lag when I typed stuff on the keyboard. It was kind of hard to discover what was going on.

There's some small fix somewhere in the hardware detection routines I guess - the Mac Mini seems to be reported as a laptop, though it doesn't have a trackpad.
