A lot of laptops can also be configured in the BIOS to turn off the touchpad when you have a PS/2 mouse plugged in. (Some of the newer ones may also turn it off with a USB mouse, but I have not run into this - I don't get to play with new laptops...) I could not find the bookmark with the listing of the different laptop configuration software, but you could do a search on your laptop brand on Freshmeat.
