Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

Fresh install of 9.10 on a Dell E6400.  This laptop has both a touchpad
and a pointer.

I've disabled the touchpad using system->preferences->touchpad and as
expected the touchpad does nothing.  The pointer continues to work,
which is what I wanted.

However, if I'm using the Pointer and knock or touch the touchpad, the
mouse goes crazy.  This doesn't happen when using an external mouse.

Thanks

John
