Description Samuel Mannehed cendio 2015-04-30 13:41:33 CEST 
Currently we only accept either mouse or touch. There are screens intended for desktop computers which allow for touch and many laptops do have touch screens.

A mouse connected to an android tablet seems to work fine however. The problem is centered around more traditional desktop platforms and when you have a touch screen on such.

Concerns regarding detection of touch devices are related to this bug:

As seen in bug 5506 for example, we got a false positive for touch detection which results in problems for the mouse.

And here is the upstream issue for noVNC:
