For bttv I know that irq sharing works in some cases and not on others. Last not-working report was bttv sharing with a nvidia. Moving the grabber board to another PCI slot (nvidia having a exclusive irq then, bttv shared the irq with something else) fixed it. Gerd -- Damn lot people confuse usability and eye-candy.
