Hi,

I have a Lenovo USB keyboard with trackpoint and touchpad (UltraNav), but I 
really want to get rid of the touchpad as it just gets in my way. But I can't 
find a way to do this in FreeBSD (using 7.0-RELEASE). I've seen the question 
asked in a couple of places but I've found no answer so I figured I'd try here.

Since it is not a laptop-internal keyboard, I cannot change any BIOS settings, 
and since it is USB, I cannot use the psm-based synaptics driver settings in 
xorg.conf (or related utilities).

The UltraNav-related parts identifies as follows in in dmesg:

 uhid0: <Lite-On Tech IBM USB Keyboard with UltraNav, class 0/0, rev 1.10/1.16, 
addr
 ums1: <Synaptics Inc. Composite TouchPad / TrackPoint, class 0/0, rev 
1.10/0.20, ad
 ums1: 3 buttons.
 ums2: <Synaptics Inc. Composite TouchPad / TrackPoint, class 0/0, rev 
1.10/0.20, addr 6> on uhub6
 ums2: 3 buttons.

So my guess is that one of ums1/ums2 is the touchpad and the other is the 
trackpoint. In which case I feel that I should be able to get rid of one of 
them.
moused detects both immeditely, so both units work fine under X.

So I'd like to just tell moused to somehow ignore one of these devices, which 
hopefully would get rid of the touchpad while keeping the trackpoint intact. 
But I can't figure out how to do that. Is there some setting somewhere for 
moused or something more general for USB devices that lets me do this?

Or if that approach is doomed, are there any other tricks I can do to 
accomplish this?

Thanks in advance,
  Chris
