Hi FreeBSD-mobile !

i'm new to the list. I own a ThinkPad A20m (2628-3SG) with a Crystal
Sound Fusion PCI (csa driver). Everything in the machines works
perfectly (even APM / supend wich is great). It is a FreeBSD only
system. 

BUT : the BIOS is a shame, and it shares IRQ 5 between cardbus1, csa,
the ATI rage mobility and something else (see dmesg). in consequence,
when  a sound is played, it plays, and the sound card hangs
approxymately the length of the sound, producing some noise wich seems
to be the last portion of the sound repeating itself...

i tried to allocate different IRQ's manually in the BIOS, but it just
hanged the machine BEFORE booting FreeBSD, even BEFORE asking for the
BIOS password ! i had to take my screwdriver, take off everything in
order to find the BIOS battery, and unplug every piece of hardware...

do you know how to assign a different IRQ to the ATI and another to
the CSA  (i don't use cardbus, so it can be shared with it) ?

i have a custom kernel (4.3-STABLE from today). you can find the files
dmesg.out and KERNEL at http://www.deep-ocean.net/~olive/files/ULYSSE/
(ULYSSE is the name of the kernel and the machine).

thanks in advance for any advice :)
