[expert] Multimedia-Kernel
Hallo In what way is the Multimedia-kernel changed/improved to the "normal" mandrake kernel? Means it that it is faster in multimedia-apps? Friedrich Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

I've been using it for a few months now without any trouble. Haven't tried to configure Jack yet, but intend to in the future. -- Brant Fitzsimmons [EMAIL PROTECTED] "All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed.

It's mostly for professional audio, but for other users it does have the low latency and preempt patches, plus a new and improved supermount. -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] Multimedia-Kernel
I tried the mm kernel and then went back to the regular kernel (built from source with some of the grsecurity features enabled). The mm kernel is slower than the rgular kernel for most non-mm stuff, so unless you do a lot of mm work, it isn't worth the switch. praedor --- KevinO <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- > Hash: SHA1 > > James Sparenberg wrote: > > ... low latency is built in along with a number of > > other things for doing realtime audio and video > editing.

I use the base ck3, then add all the performance patches, and the upgraded supermount patch. These work great. I compile as user in /home/kernels/linux-2.4.21, and after "make install_modules as root I don't use "make install," so I manually have to copy bzImage to /boot/bzImage-2.4.21-ck3, and System.map to /boot/System.map-2.4.21-ck3. I don't use an initrd for this kernel, and when I edit lilo, I delete the initrd line, so my new stanza looks like this: image=/boot/bzImage-2.4.21-ck3 label=2421ck3 root=/dev/hda10 append="devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi acpi=off quiet" vga=788 read-only I just copy the original MDK stanza to the bottom and edit the copy. Then run lilo as root. Of course, I also clean out and edit my stock MDK .config file when I do make xconfig, to reflect my hardware. I just run make xconfig after applying the ck patches, and import a copy of MDK's .config, and then do my editing. This procedure works fine for me.

Does it take > more than the standard Mandrake kernel? the Kernel itself no problem but the Video Rendering etc etc yes, on Linux I'm slow for that.
