	It may well. We have a USB keyboard driver (though I'm not
sure how easy it is to make the non-X part of the system use that
keyboard, especially if it's attached after boot time), so if the
adapter in question is really a USB keyboard widget with a PS/2 input
port, it could Just Work.

	Out of curiosity, what's weird about the PS/2 ports?
