Hi,

do you know how, in the case of volountary preemption and threaded irq
handlers, the irq's used by X11 are handled? i removed the nvidia module
from my kernelvand rebooted to have it untainted, but of course the X11
nv module does neither report to /proc/interrupts nor /proc/irq. SInce
it is on another bus [agp] i suppose this is no problem but i always
wondered about the interplay of the kernel an X. It looks to me like an
area which might still have some surprises..
