Ok, will do.

Actually, one is missing: “touchpad enabled / without
psmouse.proto=imps”, but it doesn't really matter for me since I'm not
using the touchpad anyway.

But that also means if I want a disabled touchpad (without using xinput
disable) I'm forced to use psmouse.proto=imps. It does work fine but I
then lose the speed and sensitivity attributes (in
/sys/devices/platform/i8042/...) and the Trackpoint device itself is
gone from the input subsystem (everything goes to the touchpad one).

I find that a bit confusing, and think it'd be best if the touchpad
disabling could be handled even when IMPS/2 is not used, but maybe it's
impossible to do?

Sorry for the ~user-related questions.
