Hi AJ, Apparently, the Linux kernel doesn't have support for that touchpad. In fact, I am not sure it has support for any USB touchpads.
At one point, Cirque tried to create a driver for Linux, but we ran into legal issues with the GPL. We then started working on a user-space driver, but there didn't seem to be enough demand or interest in it, so we have never finished it. What kind of interesting things are you looking to do with the touchpad?
