This is a show stopper for me. I use KDE on my desk based
machine but I simply cannot use it on my laptop without
turning off the touchpad. GNOME has a dialog that lets me
turn the touchpad off, but so far I cannot find anything in
KDE that will do it.

Note quite the same, but for my thinkpad, I wanted to use the touchpad, but
disable the eraser stub between G and H on the keyboard.  I ended up
configuing the xorg.conf file to use the direct touchpad driver instead of
/dev/mice.  You might be able to configure this to directly use a specific
mouse device.

However, scripts that do this from within X might be more useful, since you
might occasionally want to use the laptop without a mouse connected,
suffering with the touchpad.
