Re: [LAU] real time audio and graphic/ interrupt tweaks?

Hi again,

thanks for your answers!!

As the computer is a netbook it has only 2 usb ports both on bus 2 and this
shares the interrupt with the graphics (intel controller), is there a way to
alter these interrupt settings? What are the other 3 busses "lsusb" gives me
if I have only 2 physical ports both on bus 2?

Thanks again!
Martin
