  | For x11, Linux sources simply mean xorg.

Perhaps, but it is not impossible that they are doing something to it
as part of device setup way before X comes near.

Note: I am just guessing...

I had also wondered about the possibility of having the pms driver simply
ignore mouse input when typing - perhaps by simply ignoring anything received
from the mouse in the the next N milliseconds after a keystroke.

Aside from the touchpad problem, this could also help with using a regular
mouse in an unstable environment (like in a moving vehicle) - when there is
a hand available to hold the mouse, there's no problem, but while typing,
the idiot rodent likes to move around all by itself...

A sysctl setting (default 0), in units of ms, or perhaps centi-seconds (or
even deci-seconds) that would allow users to tailor it  to suite their own
typing speed/accuracy might just be of benefit, and it should be fairly
easy to do - at least for devices connected via the pms driver, not sure
how to extend it to UBC connected devices, but wsmux might help ??
