I've been educating myself lately on how cards use resources and need IRQ/DMA/PORT assignments that don't conflict. While there is a wealth of info on this topic, surprisingly I have never seen video cards mentioned once. I would think out of all the things you could plug into a computer, the video card would want/need DMA at least. Don't know if it requires an IRQ or not. Anyway I was hoping someone could clear this up for me. I have an ATI VGA Wonder card and don't know if I need to reserve an IRQ/DMA/PORT for it. If I do it's going to be a challenge since I'm out of IRQs already with my other devices using them all but that's all the more reason to know the answer to this question. Thanks.
