AFAIK, most of this can be BIOS options IF your BIOS supports said options.
Some allow you to specify which IRQ to use with which PCI slot. On the Video
IRQ issue, I think there's sometimes a BIOS option to "Assign IRQ for VGA" or
similar.

In addition, you could try shifting your other PCI cards to different slots.
Often, some slots share an IRQ, and sometimes they share with the AGP too, so
moving cards around can have different cards share different IRQs. Your
Motherboard Manual should/may have more information on this.
