Checking for address and interrupt conflicts
•
It is necessary to ensure that the I/O and memory addresses
reserved for the graphics board are not used by other
hardware devices.
•
The integrated on-board VGA controller of your Fire GL 8800
uses the following addresses (hex):
I/O Address:
Standard VGA I/O: 3B0-3DF
Memory Addresses:
Video RAM: A000-BFFF
Video ROM: C000-C7FF
Note: You cannot change the addresses of your Fire GL 8800.
In case of an address conflict, try to modify the I/O address of
the add-on card that causes the conflict.
Resolving Interrupt Conflicts
To support the special graphics processor on the Fire GL 8800 the
system BIOS should automatically assign a system interrupt to the
AGP slot where the card is installed. However, there may be
problems if your graphics card does not receive an interrupt or a
system interrupt is used for more than one device. In case of
problems check the system configuration utility of your operating
system for the interrupt assignments.
