realtime-lsm may no longer be valid for 2.6.25 kernels--debian has no prepared 
modules beyond 2.6.23.
I have not objection to rlimits but cannot find this. How does one install/use 
this?

Debian's legacy 96xx did build up and install after a fashion. Have not tried 
it yet.. In the past, I got half the frame rate using debian's versions. I did 
not install the debian nvidia libglx.so at this point and I guard nvidia's on 
every xorg upgrade. May not work with the debian driver, however.

Without rlimits, I will not use 2.6.25 kernel anyway.
