Re: Priority inheritance in Linux an offtopic question

2002-01-01 Thread Jeremy Hoyland
Linux - per se - does not support any priority-inversion avoidance protocol (it doesn't even support yield() correctly). This is true of the SCHED_RR and SCHED_FIFO policies as well. Priority inheritance / priority ceiling protocols (etc.) are the province of Real-Time Operating Systems

hebrew problems with KDE [solved]

This one should go in the FAQ. Here is the problem: the hebrew fonts were 'gone', and instead of hebrew characters all I could see were lines and dots. Since then, I can't see hebrew on the system; all hebrew characters are shown as dots and lines, no matter what I tried. Here's the

1. Does Linux has a built-in priority inheritance mechanisms for mutexes (in order to avoid priority inversion) ? I tried to find it on LinuxThreads Frequently Asked Questions and it's links--not with much success (but then it wasn't an in-depth search).

Actually - you CAN use hebrew fonts with Anti Alias - and in a very simple way.. Add this line to the dir lines in /etc/X11/XftConfig: dir /usr/share/fonts/default/winfonts (thats from my last example)... But this is not very easy since you need to disable some sizes from anti aliasing

Hi, I can tell you about the Intel ians driver: I set it up to do FEC (which doesn't yet give me any improved speed). This also does Fail-over very well. I guess that the intel drivers will also support what you want (ALB or one of the other modes). In any case you need to use ians. Schlomo On
