To summarize:

With only default drivers, both devices work, but tapping on the touchpad
doesn't emulate a left-click.

With psmouse.proto=imps, the pointing stick doesn't work, but tapping on
the touchpad emulates a left-click.

With the synaptics driver (http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340/touchpad/),
psmouse.proto=imps causes X to fail to start.

With the synaptics driver and without psmouse.proto=imps, the touchpad
works and does all the cool synaptics stuff, but I couldn't get the
pointing stick to work.  It turns out that I had misconfigured
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.  The example config entry for the second mouse at
http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340/best5650/XF86Config-4 did the trick.

I'm happy now...
