It is a Logitech Marble Mouse (eg. track ball).
ok.
as i have stated, i have had no problems with mine. and only
maintenance is cleaning the 3 points the ball rolls on. every
couple months, i do clean the lens in bottom area.
there are 2 types:
thumb, with marble to side - now called ball
palm/fingers, with marble in center - now called marble

because the names have changed with introduction of 'palm',
which model, part number, and serial number?
are you using standard mouse driver or something logitech related?
only time that i have used logitech driver was with oos to emulate
scroll wheel. have yet to set up emulation with linux.
[see links below]
running an update may have included mouse driver. did you check for
that? have you checked your settings?
from my bookmarks collection, if you care to read them, ubuntu forums
and linux questions have pages on configuring logitech mice;
