I should mention that under OS9 its ok, and under OSX its is nearly perfect.
So I can only guess that it is how gpm( et. al.) is handling the signals from

One thing I did was to get a 3 button mouse for the iBook right after
installing Debian. On the list of things I'd like to see happening, is an
option to disable the trackpad when the USB mouse is inserted and re-enable
it when the mouse is plugged out. Maybe this is something that already
exist.
