Mouse with PS/2 to USB adapter not working

I recently got a laptop and decided to switch from Ubuntu to Arch Linux, and apart from not having 3D acceleration for my graphics card, most things are working quite fine. Because I don't have 3D acceleration, one of the few games I can play is Unreal Tournament, but I don't want to play that with a touchpad, so I get a USB adapter for my PS/2 mouse, but it doesn't work for some reason.

It doesn't show up in lsusb, and the only clue I can get from dmesg is a single error saying it was "Unable to enumerate device".
Re-plugging it doesn't make any difference, nor does booting with it plugged in. Any clues as to why?

As a sidenote, I wasn't sure if I should make this thread here, but I consider a mouse hardware, and driver detection (as well as usb device detection?) has to do with the kernel. If I'm in the wrong place, please move this thread.
