Sorry if the crosspost is wrong.  Please gently tell me which group would be proper
for this type of inquiry.

I have ported a large (350k footprint) embedded system from vxworks to rtlinux.
I'm using 2.2.12 and rtlinux 2.2.  It is a PCI driver application.

It typically has 6-10 threads running which communicate via the semaphores
package semaphores and message queues.  While it it mostly working, there are
several problems on the user side that happen when my system is running.

1.  Linux' concept of time is broken.  When my app is running, time stands still.
date returns the same date/time.  It resumes when I unload my module.  I have seen
the screensaver activate immediately.  The keyboard bell will turn on for "a long 
time".

2.  Keystrokes in vi seem to be buffered for "a long time".

3.  Programs under X cause X to hang.  The two I have tried are gimp and mahjongg.
ctl-alt-bkspc kills X ok.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
