Vielen Dank, Klaus!

I have been cursing the touchpad on my T30 from the second I bought it. 

Problem was that while typing, my thumbs would accidentally hit the 
touchpad, sending the cursor somewhere it wasn't supposed to be - a 
surreal experience if you are touch-typing, looking intently at the 
screen. :-(

But I have never been able to disable it without losing my middle button 
functionality, and if the synaptic driver was loaded in XFree86, disabling 
the touchpad in BIOS would break XFree86.

Saw your note, read the page, drove a stake through the touchpad's heart,
and danced on its grave - with both thumbs. ;-)

Thanks again!
