no support for laptop touchpad under unity8 lxc

basic support for a standard laptop touchpad seems to be missing.

The mouse cursor is extremely sensitive - so much so that just touching the outside areas around the touchpad can cause the mouse cursor to nervously wander.

Single clicking on a touchpad doesnt seem to invoke click event - or at least it appeared it didnt because I couldnt get passed the initial "phone" intro asking me to swipe rightwards to show the launcher.

Why the phone intro is being displayed in desktop mode is baffling - however - given that I dont own a mouse, with no touchpad support, it makes testing unity8 more than a bit difficult.

Any plans to introduce such support so that I can help continue testing?
