[ltp] Trackpoint, trackpad and the mouse

[Paul Kaplan]

How do I disable only the trackpad on a T40 without disabling the Trackpoint 
(red hockey puck) or the mouse?  Using kernel 2.4.22-18mdk on Mandrake 9.2

Specifically, the trackpoint (but not the pad) misbehaves on the IBM external 
keyboard (which has both), but only when the keyboard is plugged in to the 
USB hub (2.0) on the port replicator.  All devices work when the keyboard is 
plugged directly into the side of the box itself.  A mouse plugged into the 
USB (1.1) on the keyboard works fine both ways.  Alternatively, how do I fix 
my USB connections?
TIA
