Yes, that is expected. What is needed to to find out how that BYD's
kernel driver detect if device is normal PS/2 mouse connected to
ordinary PS/2 port, or if it is PS/2 BYD touched.
Microsoft has only preinstalled genetic PS/2 driver, so touchpad is
probably working as ordinary mouse (if that BYD's kernel driver is not
installed).

I understand... it is hard to get some information...
One option is to trying to ask BYD again, another is to try reverse
engineer or sniff data exchange from windows driver.
