  I have RedHat6.0 on IBM thinkpad i1451(co-exists with win98.) Evenything
  was fine until I plugged a Kensington external trackball to the mouse
  port. Now when I boot to Linux, it only recognize the external trackball.
  It ignores the internal trackpoint even the external trackball is not
  plugged in. But Win98 work fine with both. Is this some sort of broken PnP
  feature of RedHat? How do I let Linux know to use the internal trackpoint.
  Remember, it was working before and it still works for Win98(meaning Win98
  will use the external trackball when it's there and use the internal one
  when the external is not plugged in.) Is this a Linux device thing or just
  XF86 thing? I notice /dev/mouse is a symlink to ps2aux but I am not sure
  what it looked like when the internal trackpoint was working though.
 
It is normal for the trackpoint to 'disappear' when you plug in an external
pointer, it has something to do with the current inability to share the ps2
port, it's a Linux thing. It should come back if you reinitialize the port
after unplugging the trackball, however.
