@Andy I installed the amd64 Natty kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com /~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.37-natty/
It booted into a blank screen (see bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/600453) so I reverted. Didn't try the alps fix as I couldn't get my dual display set up correctly, which hinders me even more than the unability to disable the touchpad. Sorry...
