Wheile this IS what Kris is talking about, it IS NOT what he should be talking 
about as it's not what he wants (or thinks he has to) do.

What he should be looking for is "Assign IRQ for VGA", which is what he wants
to disable, whether he knows it or not.  Even if he can't, it's unlikely to
cause tje problems he's reported, but at least there'd be one less thing that
he doesn't understand.
