I've attached a sloppy python program inspired by Jordi's handy script.
It disables the touchpad as soon as it detects keyboard activity, then a
fraction of a second after the end of the keyboard activity, it re-
enables the touchpad. I have an E6510 running Ubuntu 10.10 on x64, and I
run the script like this:

$ sudo ./keyboarddetector.py /dev/input/event4

If you're running on x86, you might need to tweak the line containing
"calcsize". It could be cleaned up to figure out automatically which of
the event* entries to use.
