I forgot to CC the list in case anyone else was interested in this
information as well.

Sorry about the dupe, Dmitry.

root@laptop:~# dmesg | grep "PS"
mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice
input: PS2T++ Logitech TouchPad 3 on isa0060/serio1

root@laptop:~# cat /proc/bus/input/devices
I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0003 Version=0061
N: Name="PS2T++ Logitech TouchPad 3"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio1/input0
H: Handlers=mouse0
B: EV=7
B: KEY=70000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
B: REL=143

Actually, this was more information than I was able to find earlier.
I'll be able to do some more useful searches now.

Thanks.
