Actually, it's not a patch, there are 8 types defined in the default
kernel. The patch adds a type 9. It appears that type 5 refers to the
"Turbomouse", which means the default kernel _should_ recognize it and
use it:
from /usr/src/linux-2.2.12/drivers/mac_kbyd.c
<snip>
extern void handle_scancode(unsigned char, int);
static struct adb_ids keyboard_ids;
static struct adb_ids mouse_ids;
static struct adb_ids buttons_ids;
/* Kind of mouse */
#define ADBMOUSE_STANDARD_100 0 /* Standard 100cpi mouse (handler 1) */
#define ADBMOUSE_STANDARD_200 1 /* Standard 200cpi mouse (handler 2) */
#define ADBMOUSE_EXTENDED 2 /* Apple Extended mouse (handler 4) */
#define ADBMOUSE_TRACKBALL 3 /* TrackBall (handler 4) */
#define ADBMOUSE_TRACKPAD 4 /* Apple's PowerBook trackpad (handler
4) */
#define ADBMOUSE_TURBOMOUSE5 5 /* Turbomouse 5 (previously req.
mousehack) */
#define ADBMOUSE_MICROSPEED 6 /* Microspeed mouse (&trackball ?),
MacPoint */
#define ADBMOUSE_TRACKBALLPRO 7 /* Trackball Pro (special buttons) */
#define ADBMOUSE_MS_A3 8 /* Mouse systems A3 trackball (handler 3) */
#define ADBMOUSE_MACALLY2 9 /* MacAlly 2-button mouse */
static int adb_mouse_kinds[16];
<snip>
This is after the patchh to add the last #define (along with some other things)
When you boot linux you should get something similar to this on your
screen (it's also saved in /var/log/dmesg):

What do you get with the Turbomouse connected?
