The ones in front are all USB3 but there are two USB2 = ports and four USB3 + one USB3-c port on the rear. And at least USB2 has = to be active for mouse and keyboard. I am almost 100% positive this machine does not have BIOS at all; modern = Intel machines do not, and from the number I would assume your model is = newer than mine, though one can never be sure. That said, the inability to disable the USB-3 controller is most = certainly a DELL issue, and if they lump the USB-2 and USB-3 into one = setting based on LOCATION that is supremely stupid. It would not = surprise me, but it is still stupid. I have an older Dell XPS (not for FreeBSD, it is a Wintendo) and I can = check its UEFI if it seems useful, but I am pretty sure I could disable = the USB-3 specifically without rendering ti unable to use a keyboard and = mouse. --=20 Suddenly the animals look shiny and new
