[ltp] PS/2 mouse and trackpoint

[Richard Neill]

I recall, on an older thinkpad (760) that

a)the external mouse had to be plugged in before power on if it was to 
be detected (whereas my A22p will do hotplug)

b)there is a bios setting for
	- always use internal
	- try to use both
	- auto disable (ie, disable internal if external is there)

Hope that helps
