Hi Jameel, Well, there's good news and there's bad news... Let's start with the good news: pci0: <Matrox MGA 1024SG/1064SG/1164SG graphics accelerator> at 5.0 irq 2 The card isn't on IRQ 0 any more. The bad news is it still does the exact same thing. I think I'm just going to dig around for a new card.
