I'm experiencing the same behavior as Paul:
If I accidentally touch the touchpad while using the pointing stick, the pointer will behave erratically for a moment until it is reloaded as a generic mouse.

I tried disabling the touchpad by setting "SendCoreEvents" to false in a HAL FDI policy file, but that doesn't help. While it does disable the touchpad and all its buttons, the touchpad remains "alive" if I accidentally touch it while using the pointing stick, resulting in the same erratic behavior.

Aside from that, the touchpad seems to work fine. Should a new bug report be created for this other problem?

P.S. This is on intrepid-proposed.
