[ltp] track-pad stopped working after configuring a mouse

[Gonzalo Avaria]

Hi Otisg
I have a TP600x but went thru the same problem when installed a usb optical 
mouse. Here is a copy of my XFree config file:

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Mouse1"
    Driver "mouse"
    Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
    Option "Device" "/dev/usbmouse"
    Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Mouse2"
    Driver "mouse"
    Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
    Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
    Option "Emulate3Buttons"
    Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50"
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier "layout1"
    InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
    InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
    InputDevice "Mouse2" "AlwaysCore"
    Screen "screen1"
EndSection


Where the "AlwaysCore" instruction is important because it keeps your 
trackpoint (the thing in the keyboard) always working.
I hope this helps
Greet.
