My ball doesn't work on my keyboard

I've got a Compaq MX 11800 keyboard that has a ball (used as a mouse). The ball works fine in Ubuntu and Windows, but does not work in Debian or Fedora.

I don't know where to start troubleshooting this issue. Any help is appreciated.

Here's a picture of the thing:

xorg
check the differences between the X configuration files for Ubuntu and Debian/Fedora, etc.
In Debian -> /etc/X11/xorg.conf
