My thinkpad has both a trackpad and a trackpoint mouse. I disabled the trackpad because I never use it.
After updating to the latest xorg the trackpad now works again and I dont know how to disable it because of the new way input is handled. anyone know how i disable the trackpad and leave the trackpoint available?

i did the AutoAddDevices False thing and i got my middle button scroll on the trackpoint back.
what i want to do is disable the trackPAD without changing anything with the trackPOINT.

copy /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendo/11-x11-synaptics.fdi to /etc/hal/fdi/policy and change it so it looks like this:
restart hal + X => no more touchpad annoyance
