Hi!  I picked up a standard joystick extension cable to use with my
mouse.  Although my mouse spins well enough with it, though, the
two buttons do not register at all with the cable.
The mouse works fine without the extension, as does my trackball.
The trackball buttons, though, also don't work with the cable.
When I use the cable on that port with a joystick, the buttons work
fine.

Any ideas on how I can get the cable to work with the mouse?  I'm almost
totally hardware incompetent, so any hacks had best be simple!
Thanks!
