Correct me if I'm wrong, but this report is about ums problem with a
mice and not with ukbd/ums in a single device.
I think that this is a single device hasn't anything to do with the
problem itself, but I will recheck if the source takes the correct
pipes for each interface.
We have had similar sounding problems with mice only devices.
When connected to PS/2 the protocol changes so inkompatibilities
are specific to that.
