Re: change IRQ
Hi!
I have this card and I chose the IRQ from the PnP menu in my BIOS. Linux can't soft-modify
IRQs, AFAIK.
Go to the BIOS Setup and then to the PnP menu. (If your BIOS isn't too old, there is one :)
somewhere there is an listing of the devices. Check out the one that says "Multimedia
Device" or something similar. You should also have "Display Controller", "Network Controller",
etc (names might change, but the function is the same).
For each device there is setting for IRQ that was on "auto" and that you can change to
whatever you want.
Also remember to switch the "PnP OS enabled" OFF so that the BIOS _does_ configure the
PCI devices. If you leave it on, it won't configure anything except keyboard, video and hard
drive (I think).

Don't know this card, but if it's ISA, you can use isapnp, if it's PCI
actually you can't do anything but play with the BIOS trying to force
some settings, I had success with this very few times. A better
alternative might be to use a kernel with APIC for mono-processor
machines (non SMP), which allowes for sharing IRQ's (if I understood
right that point). I do use it, have a BIOS which is not particularly
smart about IRQ distribution, and I'm not experiencing any problems.
