Alpha linux

[dogbert at clue4all.net (Brian Conway)]

I've currently run into a problem with X reliability and my 233mhz Alpha
Mulita.  The onboard TGA card went bad on this machine, so I plugged a
Matrox Millenium II into it that worked beautifically.  The problem is that
_on occasion_, the TGA card will be detected by the BIOS in addition to the
Matrox card, causing some form of interrupt conflict that results in X
hanging the system completely.  When only the Matrox card is detected, X
runs fine.  I've gone through both the firmware and any other settings I can
find in an attempt to disable the onboard TGA card completely, but have been
unsuccessful in finding a way.  Any ideas on how I might go about telling
the machine not to assign an IRQ to the onboard card and to ignore it
completely?  Problems only result when it sees the broken one.
Alphalinux.org and other resources I've searched out have been little help.
Thank you in advance.
