The following in /etc/hal/fdi/preprobe seems to make the touchpad xinput device disappear completely:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <match key="info.product" string="AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad"> <merge key="info.ignore" type="bool">true</merge> </match> </device> </deviceinfo>
I can still make the pointer jump around by using two fingers on the touchpad but accidental input activity does not seem very frequent.
