I find that my agp video card is trying to share an irq with an usb controller. It was sharing with the sound card until I moved it. So now I need some way to assign that video card an irq to itself. In appreciation, -s

Re: [newbie] Shared IRQ's
yes, that could be your problem. SBLive cards typically share IRQ's well but 3dfx cards and linux do not. There are a few ways for you to fix this confilict: 1. Some BIOS will allow you to change IRQ's on a slot by slot basis so you could simply assign a free irq to one of the devices. I'd change the SBLive I think. 2. Move one of the cards to a different slot. Be aware that typically AGP slots share irq's with the first PCI slot below them and that last PCI slots typically share with USB controllers. Good Luck!
