for a start, you need to get both of them working, one at a time. after that, there are lotsa sites on the net stating how to use X with more than one connecting pointing devices. google for them. or try this one first http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/XFree86-Second-Mouse/index.html
pay particular attention to your version of X, if it's 3.3.x or 4.x.x. if you need further help, we need further info. eg, what touchpad, wat trackball, connected to wat port, on wat laptop, and copies of your XF86 for which your two devices can already work, one at a time.
