This isn't much of a specific help, but more a general encouragement; I use one of those all the time, have used it with kernels back to the 2.4.7 that came with Red Hat 7.2, plus various kernels since, never any troubles. I use it with the builtin USB port in my Vaio Picturebook PCG-C1VPK.
Thing is, I don't use a mouse; I use this gizmo as a PS/2 keyboard adaptor. So the upshot is that the Linux USB stuff has been happy with it, usb-uhci + hid-core. It lists: input0: USB HID v1.10 Keyboard [:Cue:CAT :Cue:CAT Adapter] on usb1:2.0 input1: USB HID v1.10 Pointer [:Cue:CAT :Cue:CAT Adapter] on usb1:2.1 so even though I only use the keyboard, it seems fair to hope that the drivers will be happy providing support for a mouse on this gizmo. Hmm.

Hmm. I have a mousedev.o, and keybdev.o, but only in my old RH72 kernel's /lib/modules; in the newer kernels I run, I have keybdev wired right into the kernel. -Bennett
