Being my personal understanding but do video cards NOT need an irq?. I mean an IRQ is an interupt request for the device to interrupt the CPU to perform whatever fuction the device is for. A video card is constantly being used so at what point does it need to interrupt the cpu to USE the video card?

1: Seldzar a video card only need I/O address & Memory address, ATI have build there video card this for yrs.

In same case Yes a Video card dose need IRQ Address but if that Hardware set & not a PnP.

2: At bios boot up

Oh forget to say all other video don't get assigned IRQ as well

i740, TnT, Banshee, ATI, Voodoo3, S3, Tirdent

you name it.
