Trackball mouse

[mmiller9]

Has anybody installed a trackball mouse on their system if so how did it work and haow did you do it? I am thinking about getting one due to space constraints in my work area.

I have a Trackman Marble 2001 silver installed on my system, using DevFS and USB.

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol"          "IMPS/2"
       Option      "Device"            "/dev/input/mouse0"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping"      "4 5"

EndSection

otherwise do this:

# make device dir.
mkdir /dev/input

# make node for mice
mknod /dev/input/mice c 13 63

ln -sf /dev/input/mice /dev/mouse

/dev/mouse is now a link to your USB mouse.

I have a trackball ps/2 mouse, it installed just the same as any ps/2 mouse.
