Yes :-) The block-trackpad-while-typing functionality is also in
pbbuttons, but will be removed because mouseemu does the job better.

As you already noted, this program only works with ADB trackpads.

Ok, so you have a USB trackpad.

To remove the appletouch driver during sleep you can do:

=== before going to sleep ===
chvt 1
rmmod appletouch

=== after wakeup ===
modprobe appletouch
chvt 7

/sbin/trackpad is not the driver, it's only a small utility to control
tapping on ADB trackpads. I have never used it, because pbbuttons does
this job for me.
