Unless I'm misreading the original bug report, this same issue is giving
me trouble in Natty.

First of all, Maverick and Natty detect the ALPS Glidepoint as a PS/2
Mouse. By default, tapping is enabled. Unfortunately, the touchpad is
too finicky and this results in random clicks every time I try to type
or to drag using the touchpad, or something brushes against the
touchpad. The driver reports tapping as button1 clicks so the only way
to disable tapping is to disable the entire touchpad. I have a keyboard
shortcut to disable the touchpad at need, but I find that the touchpad
re-enables itself at inopportune moments, and re-enables itself any time
I have to resume after the computer suspends.

Also, I don't have a desk, so it is awkward to use external mice with my
laptop.
