It's not ideal, and I would like to support both at some point.

I notice Synaptics do a combined stick/pad, so perhaps they already have 
the relevant documentation up on the developer's section of their 
website. A very quick glance didn't reveal anything obvious though.

This option will at least provide the ability to revert back to a working 
touchpad _and_ stick. At least until stick support is added to the 
driver.
