You also need to edit your XF86Config / xorg.conf file to reflect two pointing
devices, similiar to this (not all the Option features are required):

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier	"Intellimouse"
    Driver "mouse"
    Option "Protocol"   "ExplorerPS/2"
    Option "Device"     "/dev/input/mice"
    Option "Buttons"	"7"
    Option "ZaxisMapping" "6 7"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
  Driver  	"synaptics"
  Identifier  	"TouchPad"
  Option	"Device"  		"/dev/psaux"
  Option	"Protocol"		"auto-dev"
  Option	"LeftEdge"		"60"
  Option	"RightEdge"		"900"
  Option	"TopEdge"		"70"
  Option	"BottomEdge"		"690"
  Option	"FingerLow"		"25"
  Option	"FingerHigh"		"30"
  Option	"MaxTapTime"		"180"
  Option	"MaxTapMove"		"110"
  Option	"EmulateMidButtonTime"	"75"
  Option	"VertScrollDelta"	"50"
  Option	"HorizScrollDelta"	"50"
  Option	"MinSpeed"		"0.2"
  Option	"MaxSpeed"		"0.9"
  Option	"AccelFactor"		"0.03"
  Option	"EdgeMotionMinSpeed"	"15"
  Option	"EdgeMotionMaxSpeed"	"15
  Option	"UpDownScrolling"	"1"
  Option	"CircularScrolling"	"1"
  Option	"CircScrollDelta"	"0.1"
  Option	"CircScrollTrigger"	"2"
  Option	"SHMConfig"		"on"
EndSection


Then your server layout section must reflect the two point devices:

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier "atiradeon"
    Screen "Screen0"
    InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
    InputDevice "Intellimouse" "SendCoreEvents"
    InputDevice "TouchPad" "CorePointer"
EndSection

The CorePointer is the pointer you desire to use always, as the SendCoreEvents is the
usbmouse.  The XF86Config man page (or xorg.conf man page) elaborates on this.
