I have a USB Logitech cordless trackball with a wheel.
It works in 2.5.59, but not in 2.4.21-pre4.
The kernels are setup the exact same. When my system boots up, I see a message about the USB Logitech Receiver, but the trackball doesn't work in the console or in KDE. It works with RedHat's 2.4.18-19.8.0 kernel, but only in KDE (Odd), so I am guessing that they may have partially backported a patch from the beta kernel.

Make sure you get hid and mousedev loaded with the -pre4, because 2.4.18-19 has autoload code which Vojtech rejected. If the thing refuses to work with all modules loaded, you can help by doing a patch bisection from the 2.4.18-19 SRPM and post results to the list. Actually, just try taking out everything that has *usb* or *input* in the patch name.
