Ah, yes... "anything can happen", which in Belgium roughly translates to
"lightning hit my house, and my computer blew up.  It's those sucking Matrox
drivers".

Or, "disable the IRQ for VGA" which translates directly to "Matrox cards done
share IRQs well".  Never mind that you aren't discussing the same IRQs there,
or even understand the difference!

I wish you'd take the time to ask Dani what *she* meant!

Yes, he does!  *You*, OTOH, obviously don't.

As it is on my DFI K6VB3+.  That STILL doesn't matter, as we are discussing
two different IRQs here, which you don't understand.  I won't bother to
explain it because yoyr level of understanding, and predisposition to blame
anything and everything on the Matrox drivers, regardless of the facts, would
make that futile at best.
