Depending on the model, you can disable the built in mouse via the bios setup. I have also done it by opening up the computer and disconnecting the mylar ribbon cable. You can also solve the problem by using an external keyboard or tape a business card over the glide pad. I am sure there is likely something techie and elegant you can do in Linux as well, but I won't be much help there.

When I try to touch type on it my sleeve sometimes touches the built in mouse pad which causes unpredictable actions. How does one disable the built in mouse pad so that I use only the optical mouse and do not have to worry about accidentally touching the mouse pad? I have Debian Etch installed on my lap top. All help is appreciated in advance.
