There is nothing in the BIOS and the keyboard toggle doesn't work as it does in windows. Although the touchpad works, I don't see any device ID. Nothing appears in lsusb or lspci (unless I plug in a USB mouse). proc shows me the ImPS/2 mouse but there is no device ID there. I don't think it's a synaptics or alps device.
