The Trackball comes with a serial connector and a serial->ps2 adapter. However I could not get the trackball to work either as a PS/2 device or as a serial device. I am running 2.2.1-RELEASE. When plugged into the PS/2 mouse port, the kernel cannot find anything where the PS/2 mouse should be. Any help will be appreciated. Many thanks in advance, -Shiva -=-
