Very Computer

I have seen keyboards that have a pointing device (touch pad or
trackball) built in.  Do these keyboards work with Linux?  

Does anyone know of a PS/2 keyboard that has a place to plug in
a PS/2 mouse, so you could have a keyboard/mouse connected to one
PS/2 connector on the computer?  I have just got a laptop that has
only one PS/2 connector and I would like to connect a regular keyboard
and mouse to it while at the office.  I also need to use the serial
port for non-mouse purposes.

The laptop does have a USB port.  
I think Linux does not support this yet.

Thanks for any help.

You're wrong.. Linux has USB support for keyboard and mouse already. Get the
latest kernel 2.2.10 and include the drivers/usb/Config.in into your
arch/i386/config.in, enable the experimental option and you're on it..! Good
luck..!
