Yes. lsusb says
ID 13ba:0017 Unknown PS/2 Keyboard+Mouse Adapter

Why do I have to unplug it, start xdm (- below), then
plug it back in, if I want all devices to work?

Why if I start xdm with it plugged in (+ below) is the adapter used
exclusively, meaning the built in keyboard, mouse etc. are ignored?
Also in this case pulling it out and plugging it back in will not change
things at this point?
