I've got a Belkin Trackmaster (model F8E189) here.  It's a PS/2 device,
three button, with the ball under the fingers.  It's also got two wheels on
it, but I've never gotten them to work.  It was the cheapest three-button
PS/2 trackball at the local Office Depot - sorry, it was long enough ago
that I don't remember the price.

Other than the two wheels, it works perfectly under both X and console,
being read as a straight PS/2 device.  No tricks needed.
