funkmuscle,

Hey, glad you got it working! :D

@autostatic
I agree with you in testing the 'miracle patch' here no latency benefit and actually it created a minimal but noticeable delay in UI responsiveness on my machine. I believe it's better to allow this kind of thing to get into the mainline kernel before employing it in a DAW, at least users know it's more than hype if the Kernel devs bother to include it.

Bedankt voor de 'linkje' That's good info to know, it's funny how things like this spread like wildfire before anyone actually knows if they work or not. :)

I got to stick with the rt as it's the only one I can use jack with on my laptop with the crappy snd-intel card.

2.6.39 will probably be the real true musicians kernel: http://lists.linuxaudio.org/pipermail/l ... 30782.html
At least, this is the main reason why I prefer real-time kernels, because of the irq-handler stuff.

Best,

Jeremy

Hi!

I have installed 2.6.39 rc3 in my ubuntu natty test partition (from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/)

Following Torben's comment in the LAU thread that Autostatic points out, I edit a line in /etc/default/grub :

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="threadirqs"

Now, I can see IRQ handlers as different threads in htop. "sudo chrt" works and so does rtirq-init!!

Cheers! Pablo
