I'm going to commit this, so I'll add the message when I do.

The issue is when you are running a dummy server and instantiating
uinput virtual trackpad devices, you have contention between the dummy
server and the real server running your desktop. Usually, the desktop X
server wins and grabs the evdev event node. The test dummy server then
fails to open the event node and your tests fail. I have been resorting
to VT switching to run trackpad tests :).
