I can't disable anything on my videocard.
Don't we just all love PnP? :-)
And I never saw that option in my BIOS.
Besides, I thought IRQ9 was (unofficially) reserved for videoboards?

Alan explained, it's a bug in Xfree.

That means moving the SCSI-board to another PCI-slot and assigning an IRQ
to that specific slot in my BIOS (if I have that option, that is).
GOD! I love PNP!!!!!!

It does work!

Alan said that Xfree didn't release the IRQ, but does that mean I can use
them seperatly, but not together?
In other words: "No SCSI in X"?
Also, is there someway to detect wether an IRQ wasn't released?
Yeep
