The gfxcard does not use an irq in use with console only. 
No, it is not a problem of shared irq's. Now I tried it a little bit 
harder with soundcard, usb and firwire, but without acpi:

cat /proc/interrupts
           CPU0
  0:      28940          XT-PIC  timer
  1:        114          XT-PIC  keyboard
  2:          0          XT-PIC  cascade
  3:          0          XT-PIC  usb-ohci
  4:       3099          XT-PIC  lirc_serial
  5:      14313          XT-PIC  saa7146(1), ohci1394
  7:         39          XT-PIC  usb-ohci
  8:          2          XT-PIC  rtc
 10:          0          XT-PIC  CMI8738-MC6
 11:       5516          XT-PIC  saa7146(0), eth0
 14:       4049          XT-PIC  ide0
 15:          2          XT-PIC  ide1
NMI:          0
LOC:      28908
ERR:          6
MIS:          0


And vdr is running fine with all that. Only acpi is the problem.
