Hi all,
I'm using FC2 on a dell inpiron 8500 P4/2Ghz/1Gb.

My problem is that the USB device,eth0 and Nvidia card share the same
irq 11.
My system is *VERY* slow when I have a lot of graphic output in a
terminal (I'm using gnome-terminal),meanwhile I transfering a lot of MB
on the lan.

I'm using the nvidia close source driver (but same thing with the nv
driver),and IMHO the prblem is that where is too much "traffic" on the
irq 11.
I looked into the BIOS but no option about IRQs.

How can I force the kernel to use IRQs in a better way?

Thanks
Alessandro
