[laptop-accessibility] Touchpad is not accessible friendly

[Greg Smith]

Hi Lesley and David,

Due to hardware and software limitations we were not able to make the 
pressure sensitive touchpad work.
There was some support in build 711 (and possible 708) but it is not 
enabled in later builds.

In short, this is not supported.

I apologize that we do not have a good solution for you (assuming you 
can't use an external pointing device).

Thanks,

Greg S
