Try editing XF86Config directly. It's in /etc/X11. Make a backup
copy before you change anything.
Look for the part that looks like this:
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "Auto"
Assuming it's a serial trackball connected to a serial port, try
setting protocol to "Auto" or "IntelliMouse".
My understanding about "Auto" is that XFree86 3.3.2 will do a PnP
interrogation of the mouse and then it should work. Try it.
Also look at http://www.xfree86.org/3.3.2/mouse26.html
Email me if you need more help. HTH.
