 From the BIOS: 

Compaq VGA controller IRQ 5
Intel IDE controller  Enabled
Intel USB controller IRQ 11
Compaq Audio Device IRQ 10
Compaq Ethernet controller IRQ 5
Creative LAbs Audio Device IRQ 10
Creative Labs 1394 controller IRQ 11 

It does seem like a lot of devices for three IRQs. Why do I have a 'VGA 
controller'? I think I have at least SVGA. Do I need 'Compaq Audio Device'? 
I'm assuming that that is the onboard card that I don't want to use. 
However, whenever I set it to 'Disable' that damn ubuntu goes and enables it 
whenever it likes. I'm assuming that the 'Creative Labs' device and 
controller comprise the EMU 1212m pci card that I do want to use. 

Am I correct in all my thinking? 

I think I'm looking at an ubuntu re-install. These are great ideas, but my 
troubles now are deep and varied now.
