I was plagued with the same thing. I finally found relief when I went
into the BIOS and disabled the touchpad. I use a bluetooth mouse
normally, but I left the trackpoint enabled in the BIOS for just in
case the mouse batteries die or something.
I know you are sure you have not touched the touchpad, but just for
kicks and grins, disable the touchpad in the BIOS and see what happens.
In PcLOs, there's a setup where you can disable the touchpad when a
mouse is plugged in to the USB port. It's based around a synaptiks
package. I did not see the same thing in Debian Squeeze, altho there is
a setup that (supposedly) disables the touchpad while you are typing.
In a very quick look, I thought it didn't have enough delay to be really
useful. That is, the millisecond after you hit the last key, the pad is
active again. Perhaps there is a way to get that synaptics package into
Debian and use it. It works nicely--I'm using it right now. Since PcLOs
uses
KDE 4.4.5 (this version, anyway) and Debian uses Gnome, that may be why
the capability is missing.
