I confirm the issue. AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint touchpad is disabled on keyboard activity, but isn't disabled neither when mouse is plugged (`Automatically switch off touchpad, when mouse is plugged` option is checked), nor at startup (when `Touchpad state at startup` is `Switch off`).
Xorg.0.log contains the following lines related to touchpad: [ 30.561] (II) Using input driver 'synaptics' for 'AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint' [ 30.561] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/synaptics_drv.so [ 30.561] (**) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: always reports core events [ 30.561] (**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/event7" [ 30.577] (--) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: x-axis range 0 - 1023 [ 30.577] (--) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: y-axis range 0 - 767 [ 30.577] (--) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: pressure range 0 - 127 [ 30.577] (--) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: buttons: left right middle [ 30.577] (--) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: invalid finger width range. defaulting to 0 - 16 [ 30.577] (**) Option "FastTaps" "1" [ 30.577] (**) Option "TapButton1" "1" [ 30.589] (--) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: touchpad found [ 30.589] (**) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: always reports core events [ 30.595] (**) Option "config_info" "udev:/sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input7/event7" [ 30.595] (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint" (type: TOUCHPAD) [ 30.595] (**) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: (accel) MinSpeed is now constant deceleration 2.5 [ 30.595] (**) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: MaxSpeed is now 1.75 [ 30.595] (**) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: AccelFactor is now 0.156 [ 30.596] (**) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: (accel) keeping acceleration scheme 1 [ 30.596] (**) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: (accel) acceleration profile 1 [ 30.596] (**) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: (accel) acceleration factor: 2.000 [ 30.596] (**) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: (accel) acceleration threshold: 4 [ 30.605] (--) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: touchpad found [ 30.605] (II) config/udev: Adding input device AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint (/dev/input/mouse1) [ 30.605] (**) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: Applying InputClass "touchpad catchall" [ 30.605] (**) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: Applying InputClass "keyboard" [ 30.605] (**) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: Applying InputClass "touchpad catchall" [ 30.605] (II) Using input driver 'synaptics' for 'AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint' [ 30.605] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/synaptics_drv.so [ 30.605] (**) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: always reports core events [ 30.605] (**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse1" [ 30.609] (--) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: invalid x-axis range. defaulting to 1615 - 5685 [ 30.609] (--) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: invalid y-axis range. defaulting to 1729 - 4171 [ 30.609] (--) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: invalid pressure range. defaulting to 0 - 256 [ 30.609] (--) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: invalid finger width range. defaulting to 0 - 16 [ 30.609] (**) Option "FastTaps" "1" [ 30.609] (**) Option "TapButton1" "1" [ 30.629] (EE) Query no Synaptics: 6003C8 [ 30.629] (--) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: no supported touchpad found [ 30.629] (EE) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint Unable to query/initialize Synaptics hardware.
