Sorry, I misunderstood ... I thought you meant the old trackball was 
connected to the DIN.  I didn't realize that the old trackball had been 
connected through the converter in question.

My next guess/suggestion would involve looking at or changing the 
settings for the device in MCC -> Hardware -> Setup Pointer Device.  But 
perhaps you have done that already?  I cannot imagine that the new 
device is not supported, but I suppose that is always possible ... have 
you checked that?

Does any of that help?
