The xsetpointer? Dunno? Tell me?
The machine has a touchpad, but I had to turn it off, because
otherwise the mentioned device wouldn't work (it emulates a
serial mouse). But even then, This little girl -also known as my daughter-
has hands and arms which she barely controls, so she smashes
them on the laptop every now and then. No problem for the keys
(no events are bound to keys), and the display is just far
enough away so she can't reach it, but the mousepad is too
close...one touch would be too much...

Well, I don't know how you are set up at the moment, but when I had both a joystick and a mouse set up with X, I used xsetpointer to switch between the two. I think it's an XInput utility. update no, I don't think that this is a cross-platform solution that works with win32.
As far as a touchpad goes, I meant to replace the mouse with another touchpad, so that you'd have two (keep the laptop's internal touchpad turned off.) It's a little wasteful, yes, but touchpads have no drift.

Good solution, but does such a utility also work on Win32 systems?
The touchpad solution is indeed a solution, like magnus suggested
the use of a trackstick on the CB.
