Description Bastien Nocera 2012-10-11 10:47:06 UTC 
At the very least, it should guess based on the product name:
$ xinput | grep -i trackball
⎜   ↳ Logitech USB Trackball                  	id=15	[slave  pointer  (2)]
Comment 1 Peter Hutterer 2013-03-26 06:27:42 UTC 
Pls attach an evtest output of the device.

    Add option TypeName (#62831)



Actual assignment of the trackball is up to the distributions in their quirks files, I'll push that to Fedora asap.
