[lcdproc] IRQ phenomenon ?

[Frankie]

Interrupts suck.

(The problem has been fixed as much as possible as far as I can tell)
The thing works while on  com 3 sharing an interrupt with the mouse, (and even
on the same irq as the isdn adapter) but one (when in use) interferes with the
other. 
i.e. :either mouse is jerky or display is jerky.
Agh. I need to get a ps/2 port for this board that TYAN didn't include. 

f*ck.
