  Starting point:        (-1)^(-1) = -1
  Applying logarithms: (-1)*ln(-1) = ln(-1)
  Since ln(-1) <> 0, dividing:  -1 = 1     (ln(-1) is
complex, but exists)

Traditional IRQ for graphics card is IRQ9, but mostly it is
not used. You can check if it is wired on the card (B4,
fourth track from plate on PCB solder side), but even if it
is wired, you should follow the PCB, and consider that the
driver can use it or not.
