So something like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
 <device>
   <match key="info.product" string="AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad">
     <merge key="xorg.ignore" type="bool">true</merge>
   </match>
 </device>
</deviceinfo>

should do it? The setting is shown by lshal but it does not seem to
cause persistent disable of the touchpad. For some reason the "Synaptics
Off" property reverts back to zero i.e. the touchpad gets re-enabled. If
I do:

xinput set-int-prop "AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad" "Synaptics Off" 8
1

and then repeatedly:

xinput list-props "AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad" |grep "Synaptics
Off"

after a while the property is back to zero. However:

xinput set-int-prop "AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad" "Device Enabled"
8 0

does disable the touchpad and the setting stays. Is there a HAL property
that would map to the "Device Enabled" xinput property?
