[Bug 1003053] [NEW] mouseemu does not detect Synaptic touchpad on Macbookpro 8, 1

[monochromec]

Public bug reported:

Mouseemu incorrectly  interprets the touchpad of a 2012 MacbookPro 8.1 as a keyboard.
As a result, no mouseclick is recorded and intpreted in function report_click when pressed with the specified modifier key (option -middle or right). 

I'll provide more info once I have time to dig deeper into the source
code.
