I don't know what adapter you're using. But I remember an adaptor coming
w/ my USB-mouse which allowed the mouse to be plugged into the PS/2
port. This was just a dumb piece of hardware which made the connectors
fit. Nothing more. When using this 'adaptor', the mouse itself noticed
that it had to act like a PS/2 mouse.
Basically, I think USB and PS/2 are two completely different things. So
unless either your keyboard can also work as an USB keyboard or you're
using an active adaptor which can 'translate' between the USB- and the
PS/2-protocol (don't know if there is such thing), I guess you're out of
luck. I might be wrong, though.

Don't know what those mean. Maybe someone else?
