Have you searched the web for that product with Sarge and xorg.conf
examples? I don't use a track ball, but for the sake of showing you
the part of xorg.conf which handles my device I'm posting that
section:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
EndSection

Not sure. Usually the installer picks up the devices if they're plugged
in when you install, even if they're USB. On my Gentoo box, I had to
add this to xorg.conf, maybe you need to do something similar, or use
that other method somebody mentioned:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Marble Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Buttons" "4"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Intellimouse Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Buttons" "3"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "3"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen "Default Screen"
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
InputDevice "Marble Mouse"
InputDevice "Intellimouse Mouse"
EndSection
This gives me two mice.

You realy shouldn't use Debian/Sarge on any new installation,
espesially when installing a desktop machine.
Install Debian/Etch should solve your problems. If you have speciall
considerations (like testing software on a old Debian/Sarge server not
converted yet), you have got some solutions in this thread.
Good luck
