Would someone please advise me on how to resolve a resource conflict?  Could you
point me to a FAQ or HOWTO document about resource conflicts?

isapnp reports that I have a resource conflict.
I placed the following in /etc/isapnp.conf:

(ISOLATE)
(IDENTIFY *)

When I ran isapnp using the command "isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf",
it produced the following output:

Read port 03C3 cannot be allocated - resource conflict (see /proc/ioports)
Read port 03CB cannot be allocated - resource conflict (see /proc/ioports)
Read port 03D3 cannot be allocated - resource conflict (see /proc/ioports)
Read port 03DB cannot be allocated - resource conflict (see /proc/ioports)
Read port 03FB cannot be allocated - resource conflict (see /proc/ioports)
/etc/isapnp.conf:1 -- Fatal - Error occurred executing request 'ISOLATE ' ---
further action aborted

The contents of /proc/ioports is:

0000-001f : dma1
0020-003f : pic1
0040-005f : timer
0060-006f : keyboard
0070-007f : rtc
0080-008f : dma page reg
00a0-00bf : pic2
00c0-00df : dma2
00f0-00ff : fpu
0170-0177 : ide1
01f0-01f7 : ide0
0376-0376 : ide1
0378-037a : parport0
03c0-03df : vga+
03f6-03f6 : ide0
03f8-03ff : serial(auto)
1050-1057 : ide0
1058-105f : ide1

Since the name of one of the ports with a confilict is vga+,
I guess that is for my video card.  Perhaps the conflict
would explain why my Hewlett Packard Pavilion M70 monitor
was not automatically detected.  Also, it would not
produce a clear, flicker-free picture even if I selected
the M70 monitor from the list.  I eventually had to
select a generic monitor from the list.

The hardware works well under Windows 98 Second Edition.  So, I don't think it
is a hardware problem.

Thank you for whatever advice you can offer.
