I have the same two pointing devices.  You'll be able to configure all
this later.  In fact, you needn't disable your touchpad at all.  The two
will actually work simultaneously.  Good for me, since if I unplug my
USB mouse, linux loses track of it, and to recover it I have to kill X,
rmmod mousedev, insmod mousedev and then restart X.  But the touchpad
always works.
