drm0 say it allocates irq 11 when starting up:
drm0: <Matrox G550 (AGP)> mem
0xfd000000-0xfd7fffff,0xfdefc000-0xfdefffff,0xf8000000-0xf9ffffff irq 11 at
device 0.0 on pci1
info: [drm] AGP at 0xf0000000 128MB
info: [drm] Initialized mga 3.1.0 20021029 on minor 0
drm0: [MPSAFE]

When I unload the firewire module I get

-su-2.05b# vmstat -i
interrupt                          total       rate

irq18: bktr0                      428987          2
irq19: uhci0 bktr1                   987          0
irq20: em0                       1301800          8
irq0: clk                      158552995       1000
Total                          611462202       3857

=> no drm0 appears either. But there is no problem with interrupt
storm, glxgears are happy, and there is no excessive time spent in
interrupts according to both top and 'systat -vmstat 1' (something
beteen 0.1 to 0.4%).

> can you try moving the graphics adapter to a different PCI slot?

No. It's AGP Matrox G550 and there is the only AGP slot.
