PS/2 Mouse Function Control [Auto]
The default setting [Auto] allows the system to detect a PS/2 mouse at startup. If a
mouse is detected, the BIOS assigns IRQ12 to the PS/2 mouse. Otherwise, IRQ12
can be used for expansion cards. When you set this field to [Enabled], BIOS
reserves IRQ12, whether or not a PS/2 mouse is detected at startup. Configuration
options: [Enabled] [Auto]

is disabled.
When you set this field to [Disabled], the USB controller legacy mode is disabled
whether or not you are using a USB device. Configuration options: [Disabled]
