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).

Webserver is really slow... HTML page is still loading...

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.
