I got a new USB trackball today. When I plug it into the computer, this
shows up in dmesg:
input: Logitech USB Trackball as /class/input/input6
input: USB HID v1.10 Mouse [Logitech USB Trackball] on
usb-0000:00:1d.0-1
How would I configure my computer so that I could use this device?

just tell gpm/X to use /dev/input/mice (this is most typicly the default
~ device name/location for USB mice ... all 3 of my USB mice have used
the same name/location ... and none were the same make.

hmm. no configuration should be necessary. try to cat /dev/input/mice
and see if things come up when you move the trackball. If so, make
sure X is using /dev/input/mice and not /dev/input/mouseX.
