IRQ sharing between usb and closed-source-driver video cards (almost) always 
cause problems. Blogs, ticket systems and boards are full of proof for this.
But then its not limited to usb+graphics, firewire+graphics sharing the 
interrupt is also a happy source of problems. Again the culprit is most likely 
the closed source driver...

Have fun,
