Need a trackball driver

How does it connect to the system?

I apologize for not replying sooner. Apparently your message was in my spam folder.
The Trackball connects by a standard USB port.

Can you give the output of:

lsb_release -a; lsusb

Thanks

I'm sorry, I don't understand this. There is nothing in the owner's manual that specifies what this means.
Paul E, Meyers

Copy the line I gave and press CTRL+ALT+T
paste the command to the terminal and hit ENTER
Copy the output and paste here as an update

Thanks

I'm hoping I did this correctly.

If you unplug it then plug it back in and rerun the command, is the output different?

Unplug what?

Unplug the trackball device, it;s the subject of this entire thread....

I don't have it plugged in because it doesn't work with Linux Ubuntu 11.10. That is why I need the driver. I'm still using my mouse. I much prefer trackballs, my old one broke and I purchsed this one because it has the scroll ring which the old one didn't. When I discovered that it was not compatible with the Linux Ubuntu 11.10 operating system I looked in the Linux softwsre center and couldn't find a driver for the device. That is when I sent the message asking if one was available. Should I plug it in and see if the information you requested changes?

Plug it in and rerun the lsusb command, it will show the device and we can find guides.
