I guess I'll weigh in here too.

Generally speaking, there's been touchpad support for as long as I can 
remember back to the RH7,8,9 days and prior. USB mouse is there also and both 
do work at the same time.  As others have suggested, you may want to tweak 
the pad a bit.  I've also had no problems with a wireless USB mouse.

As others have also mentioned wireless, modems, sound and misc. keyboard 
functions will all be ruled by support of their chipsets. 

As always, YMMV
