    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.
