I have a Lenovo Ideapad U400 with an odd touchpad. Can't find a way to
disable it when a mouse is plugged in. The function key (F6 on the
keyboard) doesn't toggle on/off as it does in windows. Using Ubuntu
12.04 system settings, there is no touchpad found - it shows up only
as a mouse. When I less /proc/bus/input/devices the only pointing
device that appears shows up as NAME="ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse"
instead of something like NAME="SynPS/2 Synaptics Touchpad". When I
plug in a USB mouse nothing changes in proc and both the mouse and the
touchpad work. qsynaptics or other synclient stuff has not worked
because there is no touchpad detected. This doesn't seem to be a
synaptics touchpad. Anyone have any ideas on how to shut it off?

I found this which may help:

Completely disabling Touchpad
Some systems don't have the option to permanently disable the touchpad
via BIOS or it's located in an external keyboard. To fully disable you
can do the following:
Determine the device id (the device name should be something with
touchpad or glidepoint)
xinput list
Disable it (e.g. here the device id is 15)
xinput set-prop 15 "Device Enabled" 0
You may run the command during session startup
