I have to install another program to shut down the trackpad then?
nevermind I found the /sbin/trackpad.

PowerBook5,7, appletouch: 17" model detected.
debian reports version 1.1.3-18  from testing.

I never seemed to check out the powerpc-utils. It does not load /sbin/trackpad 
from init.d. So, as a option to shut down the driver I can 
move /sbin/trackpad, or find whatever loads it...
