Okay, new information. Based on a recent post to the list, I loaded the
evdev module and did a cat /dev/input/event0. It worked! I get output from
the device when I press the multimedia buttons on the trackball.

Now the question is how to make X usefully aware of /dev/input/event0. Maybe
with XInput or something? Any thoughts?
