Fwiw, I'm working my way through this document with the hardware, and
updating bits as I go:

   https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Testing/Touchscreen

Ara, question... how will test results be reported from this document?
E.g. in the Device Support Test it is possible to find a failure on
several of the steps, so if it failed on, say, step 4 would that be
reported as "Failed #1.4"?

That'd certainly be slick, although for our purposes even just a snippet
of bash code that prints stuff to the terminal would be adequate for
now.

My thinking is, it doesn't matter if the testing is hard, so long as we
have it documented in a paint-by-numbers form that reasonably technical
folks can follow and make sensible bug reports from.
