Then you have to turn on the palette "snoop", permitting the palette
registers of both VGA devices to be identical. The setting must be set to
Enabled if any non-standard VGA adapter card, such as MPEG card,
installed in the system requires VGA palette snooping.
PCI IDE BusMaster
Set this option to Enabled to specify that the IDE controller on the PCI local
bus has bus mastering capability. Settings options: Disabled, Enabled.
PCI Slot1/5 IRQ, PCI Slot2 IRQ, PCI Slot3 IRQ, PCI Slot4 IRQ
These items specify the IRQ line for each PCI slot. Settings: 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11,
Auto. Selecting Auto allows BIOS to automatically determine the IRQ line for
each PCI slot.
Set IRQs to PCI or ISA
Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu and the following screen appears:
IRQ 3/4/5/7/9/10/11/14/15
These items specify the bus where the specified IRQ line is used.
The settings determine if AMIBIOS should remove an IRQ from the pool
of available IRQs passed to devices that are configurable by the system
BIOS. The available IRQ pool is determined by reading the ESCD NVRAM.
If more IRQs must be removed from the IRQ pool, the end user can use
these settings to reserve the IRQ by assigning an ISA/EISA setting to it.
Onboard I/O is configured by AMIBIOS. All IRQs used by onboard I/O
are configured as PCI/PnP. If all IRQs are set to ISA/EISA, and IRQ 14/15
are allocated to the onboard PCI IDE, IRQ 9 will still be available for PCI
