Changing 945G GPU IRQ assignment

[Jacques, Hugo]

Hi,

I have an Intel 945G-based system on which I installed a custom board (qhal_host below) into the PCIe x16 slot.

I am running Linux 2.6.29.6, Xorg 1.6.0 and xf86-video-intel 2.7.0.

Is there a way to have the Integrated Graphics Controller (i915 at pci:0000:00:02.0 below) being assigned to an IRQ different than 16?

I am asking this because I want to debug an interrupt issue. At some point I get ~100000 interrupts a second on IRQ16 despite neither the qhal_host or the Intel GPU devices report the interrupt is theirs (through respective IIR registers).

Anybody heard of 945G issues when both the GPU and a card in the PCIe x16 slot are generating interrupts as the same time?

Thanks in advance.
