Anyway, about the issue you are seeing, this is, unfortunately, as expected. |

When USB-mice first appeared, most computers still only had PS/2 plugs. (Some |

even still had the older thicker round plugs) |

In order to make the new USB mice to work, the USB/PS/2 adapters appeared. |

They worked because the mouse recognized the adapter and changed the signal |

The adapters don't have any fancy circuitry to translate between USB and PS/2. |
