The laptop is a gateway 2300 p200 with neomagic video card and tft display and a 4.1 gb harddrive. The touch pad does not work at all i have been working to fix it but is broken now. the trackball is pu=luged into the usb port and the system looks to /dev/gmpdata and i guess yes to the gmp question i'm not sure

Is there something physically wrong with the touchpad, or do you mean you just haven't been able to get X configured to use it? Have you tried the GlidePointPS/2 driver? Where is the trackball plugged in? I'm guessing the ps/2 port. Where does X look for the mouse? It should probably be /dev/psaux . Are you running gpm?
