Hi,
I have a question. Is there a reason why the Real Time version of the
kernel is always under the desktop version?
I just checked and installed both the last desktop kernel and rt
kernel from Cauldron here:
ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/mageia/distrib/cauldron/x86_64/media/core/release/
Kernel desktop is 3.5.3 but Real Time is 3.4.9.
That's because upstream -rt project is only tracking -longterm kernels
so currently 3.0, 3.2 and 3.4
https://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page
My main problem is that the support of the Wacom Intuos 5 tablet
exists only since the Kernel 3.5. I just tested on Mageia 2 (normal
one, I only installed the new kernels from Cauldron). It works with
the desktop kernel 3.5.3, not with the 3.4.9 rt kernel.
Well, Mga2 will get upgraded to 3.4 longterm kernel soon, so maybe
we should look into backporting the Intuos 5 tablet support to
3.4 series... then I could add it to the -rt kernel too.
So that would be nice to support a 3.5 real time kernel in Mageia 3. :-)
Well, there is no decision what the release kernel for mga3 will be yet,
but I assume something like 3.7-3.9... depending of upstream kernel.org
releases... and no idea what version -rt will support by then....
