[hid] is for usb, maybe [comport] would work with PS/2 if you used a PS/2 to usb 
connector??? or one of the older mouse objects? not sure, maybe the PS/2 to usb 
connector means that the trackball becomes a usb mouse?

If it does appear as a usb mouse then [hid] can certainly connect to it 
directly, which will probably be what you want.

You will need to do a few settings to your X setup, or your system, to make sure 
that the trackball does not become a mouse for the whole system.
