Why not simply re-enabling IRQ, and wait to see if I'm the only one which have this problem? (do we have more reports than me for this?)
Perhaps it's my hardware somewhere which lost somes interrupts some times (about 1500 interupts per seconds isn't it high?)

My hardware is:

Motherboard k7s5a (chipset sis 735)
Processor: Athlon Thunderbird @ 1000Mhz
The tests was done with shared irq (IO-APIC), and without (just the card with it's irq) -> should I investigate more here?
The radeon card is a 8500 "powered by ATI".

I also notified network and/or sound stoping working while playing with 3D (irq enabled).
Stoping playing with 3D re-enable network and/or sound.
With the patch of Michel, it doesn't seem to arrive again, but i need to do more testings to be sure.
