2.5.68 and trouble with mouse setup on Notebook

hello,
I have an Dell Inspiron Notebook that has two pointer devices build in:
a Touchpad and a Trackstick (the mini Joystick placed in the keyboard
area)

while boot work fine in kernels of the 2.4.x series the Stick does not
work with a current development kernen (2.5.68)


The device just seems not there, no mention of it in the boot messages.

I get just


mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice
...
Found Synaptics Touchpad rev 5.7
input: PS/2 Synaptics TouchPad on isa0060/serio1


# ll /dev/input/
total 0

crw-r--r--    1 root     root      13,  32 Jan  1  1970 mouse0


does anybody have an advice how to get the stick working?

thanks
Jens
