IRQ

[Guest]

I'm having problems with my display.
I get a error-message (Which I probably can't translate in a correct way)
that says that "VPU recover has ...reset? your graphics accelerator since it
did'nt respond to the graphic drivers commands"... something like that.
The computer and the display is from Fujitsu, but the Fujitsu support
couldn't help me out. The wanted me to re-format, but I've already done that.
What i wonder is if there can be a problem with IRQ and/or I/O-port? For
instance, IRQ 16 is shared by GIGABYTE RADEON... and Creative SB Audigy. The
computer doesn't say anything about a conflict, but I wonder anyway.
There's also different things (f.i. GIGABYTE RADEON and SiS accelerated
graphics port) sharing I/O-port and memory-adresses. I don't know if that can
result in similar problems. Can someone please help me out?

Hi IceTee,

There is nothing wrong with IRQ sharing, this is done by design. What
*could* be an issue is if the sound card is installed in the PCI slot
immediately next to the AGP slot holding the video card. Moving it to a
different slot may help.

The original poster (OP) should try to install the latest available driver
for their RAEDON video card drive and disable the integrated SiS video card.
I have seem problems where the integrated, on-board video card causes the
problems and I do know that the Catalyst drivers have been updated.

My reading of the original posting was that the SIS drivers related only to
the AGP slot so I'm thinking those drivers should remain as part of the
motherboard's necessary driver set. If there had been onboard graphics, they
would have shut down on first sight of an added AGP card.

Point of interest, my graphics and sound cards share an IRQ but there is a
spare PCI slot between them to allow the graphics card some cool air space.
