if you have rebooted after removing 'blacklist psmouse' it should work...
check again in blacklist.conf whether the entry still remains.......if its not there reboot a few times...and then check...

Disabling the touch pad when the external mouse is connected automatically, will require you to write a shell script which is executable at startup...

Its the same for every other operating system...both mice will work..

Check this out too..."Touchpad Indicator was created with a very simple feature in mind: to allow you to easily enable / disable your laptop or netbook touchpad with a click but it slowly started gaining some other cool features. About two months ago, Touchpad Indicator got a nice feature that allows you to toggle the Touchpad on/off using a keyboard shortcut which is very useful for those that have issues with the Fn keys."
