> Is there any way to disable trackpad while USB Mouse is connected???

I simply added (..another hack..) "$(sleep 6; /sbin/trackpad notap) &"
to my kdm startscript. This won't deactivate the pad but at least then
taps are not interpreted as clicks (which e.g. makes the pointer move
under X while writing a text).

Somewhere I read about a hack that actually tested for a connected mouse
on X startup but I just can't find it anymore :/
Maybe someone else in the NG remembers this.
