"sudo modprobe -r psmouse" completely disable the touchpad, I don't think that's what Adam wants.

Once you've applied the kernel patches (which are now part of the latest kernel, 2.6.34), it should be detected as a touchpad. Then, in gnome, mouse preferences, touchpad tab, you just have to select "disable touchpad while typing". It actually runs syndaemon. If that doesn't work (there is no touchpad tab), make sure the synaptics X driver is loaded (but that should be the default).
