You might have to use the IMPS/2 protocol, if you're not already. And if it's

http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/US/EN,crid=2150,contentid=5002,detail=2

it has 4 buttons, so you need to turn off Emulate3Buttons.

I use the pointing device with my left hand, and there's not room on my
keyboard tray to swing a mouse, and I got fed up with mechanical
mice/trackballs getting dirty. I had a _very_ hard time finding a 3+
button, optical, left-handed-or-ambidextrous-or-convertible trackball with a
wheel. The only one I found was http://kensington.com/html/2200.html , so I
bought it. They also have the wireless version (_now_ they do), but I
didn't need that (especially not for another $20).
