I am very seriously grateful to all of you,

So far I am only sure of one thing to do.  I am going
to convert the USB connection to a PS/2 type
connection.  That is easy enough for me to do. However
I suspect that will not be the end of the troubles. 
Then I have to figure out how to tell the kernel that
it has what it needs.  So, [here come the question],
what do I need to do after physically changing the
connection?  What parameters or options do I need to
change in what files to pass that information to the
kernel?
