The latest test2-mm4 includes some synaptics patches to get both the
toucpad and the nipple (clit, stick, whatever) working simultaneously.
They are also available from the links section of hte page below.
You also need to get the X synaptics driver from
http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340/touchpad/ which sadly requires a
compiled xfree tree to get compiled... I have the following in my
XF86Config:

<snip>
Section "ServerLayout"
	Identifier     "normal"
	Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
	InputDevice    "Touchpad"
	InputDevice    "Nipple"
	InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
</snip>
<snip>
Section "InputDevice"
	Driver        "synaptics"

If your thinkpad does'nt have the nipple  you can just ignore that part
of the config.
