     Well, now this is interesting.I installed XFCE, and now the
trackball is working in Gnome..... Time to test the mouse, which I
anticipate will work.
     XFCE must've brought in whatever was needed...

not necessarily... if you go back, it still may not work.. let us know!!

That's the odd thing. All I did was install XFCE, then noticed the trackball working at the login greeter. Logged in to XFCE, Cinnamon, and now back in to Gnome like I want, and it works everywhere....
