Trouble getting trackball on keyboard to work

I have a Compaq MX 11800 keyboard with a trackball. The mouse buttons work but the trackball doesn't.

Here's a picture of the thing if you're interested.

I saw someone having a similar problem here.

They say in Ubuntu 7.10 (old version) it works fine. I'm using Debian Lenny.

Any ideas would be helpful.

Thanks!
