Ok, here's what I did to set it up:
Mandrake detected it automatically:

Jun 7 16:26:09 ste kernel: hid-core.c: USB HID support drivers
Jun 7 16:26:09 ste kernel: mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice
lsmod tells me it loaded:
keybdev 2720 0 (unused)
mousedev 5268 1
hid 20900 0 (unused)
input 5664 0 [keybdev mousedev hid]
In my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 I added a new input device:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Lightgun"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
EndSection
and added it to my server layout section:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "layout1"
InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "SpinnerTrackball" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "Lightgun" "SendCoreEvents"
Screen "screen1"
EndSection
Send core events let you use the device as though it were the
corepointer.
Re-strarted X, and did the calibration and it "works." By work I mean,
the mouse moves,the screen flashes but my aim is way off or it's not
calibrated correctly. The docs say the gun prefers 70 refresh rate for
operation, my desktop is running at 60 at 1280x1024. Using xrandr to
switch to one of my lower-res modes, say 800x600 at 85 and recalibrating
gives me the same behavior.
I read somewhere about getting the device to work as a HID without the
mousedev module somewhere that I'm trying to relocate. More on that as I
find it... Lets see what "damage" I can do in xmame... hmm Operation
wold has always been close to my heart...
