Yes. It used to be tristate (built-in, module or disabled), but it's now a bool (built-in or disabled). > What is the preferred modern method of letting apps gain realtime > privileges?

It improves the responsiveness of the system by making the kernel fully preemptible and with real time capabilities, which is slowly being integrated with mainline. There's an introductory paper on the subject here: http://www.realtimelinuxfoundation.org/events/rtlws-2006/paper_33.html The latest patch can be downloaded here: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/ Could you please try it and share your results later on? -- Lucas powered by /dev/dsp _______________________________________________ gobolinux-devel mailing list gobolinux-devel@lists.gobolinux.org http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-devel
