touchpad scroll tests require a scroll resource that is bogus

[Daniel Manrique]

Scroll tests depend on xinput reporting that the device supports scrolling (and this powers the touchpad_scroll_resource). However, this means that if a device that should support scrolling says it doesn't, then we won't run the scroll tests at all and we won't know that the device doesn't work.

So maybe the scroll tests should not require the touchpad_scroll resource.

I agree, but we may want to ask others if they were depending on this - fixing this bug effectively makes the touchpad_scroll_resource redundant

I'm marking this as WONT FIX but please reopen if this is actively hampering anyone's work. My goal is to limit the number of open bugs to get a better idea as to what is really important.
