I'm not sure what you mean by missing information - I tried the other four boot options in the article:
* noapic
Same as before, except that IRQ #11 was disabled instead of 16. Same problem occurs with windows disappearing, seemingly random (works sometimes, doesn't work other times).
* pci=routeirq
Same as before, IRQ #16 was disabled. Same problem occurs with windows disappearing, seemingly random (works sometimes, doesn't work other times).
* pci=noacpi
Same as before, except that IRQ #11 was disabled instead of 16. Same problem occurs with windows disappearing, seemingly random (works sometimes, doesn't work other times).
* acpi=off
Second screen didn't appear and the single screen that did had very poor resolution. No bug because I didn't have dual screens.
* irqpoll
As I described before, the same as without it - the windows appear sometimes correctly and disappear at other times. Sometimes the windows stay across multiple locks, sometimes they don't.
Let me know if you want something else - also, I'll note that I'm not experiencing any of the IRQ problem symptoms described in the article, like hardware devices not working, multiple hardware device problems, or system hangs.
