In #218263, it was mentioned that mouseemu is still installed on Intel
Mac Laptops, but not the Intel Mac desktops. If this is the case, this
is still an issue since it causes the same problems.

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.
