Dear Philipp,

why does the SeaBIOS-source contain a file named mouse.c ?

Next time, please show, what effort you already put into finding the right answer yourself. `git log src/mouse.c` and `git grep mouse.c` and `git grep MOUSE` already shows quite a lot.

```
    config MOUSE
        bool "Mouse interface"
        default y
        help
            Support for int15c2 mouse calls.
```

Then search for that BIOS interrupt call [1].

So, it’s my understanding, that the BIOS interface allows to control a mouse pointer using the BIOS interrupt call 15.C2.

Programs and operating systems like Microsoft DOS use that to drive the mouse.


Kind regards,

Paul
