A couple of my BIOSs have some peculiar USB legacy options, which aren't described properly, and I can't recall what it was (if I reboot now, it's going to be too disruptive). But it was either AUTO and ENABLED, or AUTO and DISABLED, there weren't three options. It's unclear what the legacy mode offers beyond faking a PS/2 keyboard - the manual only vaguely talks about using it for some things that might need it. But the only problem I can detect, after booting, is if I also enable an USB mouse emulated as PS/2 option on one of them. -- (Currently testing FC5, but still running FC4, if that's important.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
