Default IBM USB keyboard w/ UltranavII, HID and Slack

Hi Guys,

I'm using one of those on my desktop (USB device no: 06CB:0009). I'd
like to
be able to disable the touchpad (old Thinkpad fan, and the trackpoint
is the
reason that I have this keyboard in the first place).

With never 2.6 kernels I have the problem that if the HID driver loads
and
picks up the device it maps the trackpoint to silly things (touching
the
trackpoint takes me to a different desktop in fluxbox rather than
moving
the mouse cursor).

Can someone point me to a resource that will allow me to (ideally)
disable
the touchpad alltogether, or at least keep the trackpoint working as
desired?
I've been googling for weeks, and the only reference I could find is
http://www.jan-steinhoff.de/linux/synaptics-usb.html
which I can't seem to get to play nicely with X ...


Cheers,
Andrej
