The repeater is using, by default, msc protocol (serial, 3 buttons).
There is, however, support for repeating to a different protocol;
currently only msc and summa are supported as output protocols.
However, you can easily add a ps2 repeater by writing R_ps2 in mice.c
and following the path of R_msc. It's easy, granted.
I suspect you are running a proprietary X server. Now, *this* is the problem :)
