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?
