I've not had a problem telling BIOSes that Linux *is* a PnP OS for quite
a while. I see an IRQ assigned as soon as I load the module:

hex ~ $ cat /proc/interrupts
...
 11:     147695          XT-PIC  usb-uhci, usb-uhci, eth0, em8300
...

You should see messages in syslog as the card is probed. Also:

hex ~ # lspci
...
00:08.0 Multimedia controller: Sigma Designs, Inc. REALmagic Hollywood
Plus DVD Decoder (rev 02)
...

FWIW: kernel is 2.4.22-1.2135.nptl (Fedora, unmodified). DXR3 driver
version is 0.13.0.cvs.

As I mentioned in an earlier mail, I did have to play a bit to find the
correct module options for my particular card. If yours is a similar
model let me know and I'll email you my configuration.
