Yes I needed to set this to be able to reserve IRQ for legacy card.

Yes it have IDE controller. Currently I don't remember how it can be enabled/disabled. Card is jumperless. There must be some sw for it.
But before I hadn't problem to use this IDE with onboard IDE - it assigned different ports.

I also tried this settings.

My VGA use IRQ 9 or 11 like most of other onboard PCI devices. BIOS displays PCI listing during boot-up and I can see all IRQ assigned. There was ANY device ocupying IRQ5/7 when I set it to be reserved for legacy device.
