I guess if i could 'free' an IRQ(you know, so I would have an empy space in /proc/interrupts or nvidia would load up another IRQ at X startup... if that would be possible) then i would have no problem. But how would I do this? Probably with some kernel cmdline, X setti
doesn't bios take care of the irq handling? i've seen options like 'assign irq to VGA' and stuff in BIOS
