One is a 'stupid' driver that replaces the serial port driver for a specified serial port, implementing a photocell sensor that time tags the port interrupt and does an asynchronous message (seen in the user's app via select/poll/SIGIO). I would not imagine anyone would be interested in it. One other driver, the bttv driver, already has our changes in the mainline. We hired a bttv developer to make the changes, In that case, it was a v4l2 feature that was defined in the API but was not present in the bttv driver. It is now. Before the changes made it into the kernel, we had to make a local compile and provide it. In 10.3 that is no longer needed. The other drivers are from special cards we use. One driver is not ours. We have the source because we use the cards. It is a multi-port realtime jpeg2000 compression/decompression card. Which has primarily Linux support. Perhaps the developer of that card is interested in this. > > So did the nvidia driver not get installed into the RT kernel on purpose > > (it was not fully recompiled with -rt stuff) or by oversight?

I have a friend at nvidia. Maybe he can ask around. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.
