rtirq not setting as expected

by Chris Caudle

I attempted to have one of my ethernet interfaces increased in priority using an entry in the rtirq configuration file, but it did not seem to work as seen below in the rtirq status. I expected eth2 to get set to priority 70, but it is at the default of 50 along with all the other non-sound interrupt handlers. Any help in understanding why would be appreciated. Also, is there any benefit to preventing the driver loading for the unused audio section of my video card? The video card has an audio adapter that only outputs over the hdmi port, which I am not using, but it gets set to a high priority just like my ice card. Any concern with that, or just ignore it? -- thanks, Chris Caudle Content of /etc/sysconfig/rtirq: # IRQ thread service names # (space separated list, from higher to lower priority).

Qt3 is so 2000s :) Yes, in the makefile you can specify USE_QT4 instead of USE_QT3. It doesn't work right now, but it did a few weeks ago. Problem with QT4 is that copying pixmap to widget (bitblt) was so horribly slow. (And I did turn off double buffering plus some other other options, but it only helped a little bit.) I don't know what the problem was, maybe my X setup is too old. It's not surprising that bitblt is a little bit slower in QT4 since their QPixmap is not a wrapper around the X Pixmap anymore. Maybe that's the whole explanation. It was usable, but not very nice compared to QT3. File requesters and the FX selector are always made with QT4 though. :-) (IOW. Radium requires both QT3 and QT4 in the default setup.)
