You should be able to disable the touchpad in the laptop's BIOS - generally you can
have internal, external or both. Plugging in the external PS/2 rodent *should*
disable the internal touchpad.

Subject: [SLUG] Disable mouse thingie
Hi all,
I have a laptop that my wife uses for email and things. Running X, RH8.
Problem is that the built-in mouse substitute is a nuisance. It is too
easy to rest hands on it while typing. I have another mouse attached
through the PS2 port.
How do I disable the built in? I tried commenting out one of the
sections in XF86config, but both mouse connections still work.
Any help greatly appreciated.
