I did the following on Toshiba laptop with Logitech Marble Trackball:
USB Human Interface (Mouse/Keyboard
---------------------------------------------
1) ref. http://www.linux-usb.org/USB-guide/x194.html
2) configure kernel for HID in USB section; built in to kernel
ensure the following are set:
# Input core support
CONFIG_INPUT=y
CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBDEV=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_X=1024
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_Y=768
# USB support
CONFIG_USB=y
CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS=y
CONFIG_USB_UHCI_ALT=y
CONFIG_USB_HID=y
CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT=y
3) load new kernel
4) check that /proc/bus/usb/devices shows plugged in USB devices
5) cat /dev/input/mice
ensure that when the mouse is moved there is lots of
chars printed to the screen
6) ensure the USB mouse is configured (see XF86Config-4 in
appendix)
7) keyboard on USB port should just work
8) mousepad and keyboard on laptop should work simultaneously with
the external mouse and keyboard
