Hmm...seems like I've been seeing that a lot lately -- people who are
getting low latency to work, at the expense of SMP. This is troubling
for me, because I was planning on soon finally upgrading my Athlon XP
based system to an AMD quad core. Is the realtime kernel always badly
behaved on a multi-CPU system with SMP enabled? That could be bad,
considering that there almost isn't any other kind of PC these days.
just as with the proprietary nvidia driver for my
previos GPU,
the proprietary ATI driver don't play nice with the rt-kernel, but I have a
much quicker and stable sustem with the ST GPU. So I guess that it's a problem
with the Ubuntu RT-kernel (2.6.28-3-rt) and possible in combination with some
motherboard issues that I haven't figured out yet.
I'm planning on running a recent Radeon with the new free ATI driver
(called 'radeonhd?'). Is that going to be a problem?
OS: Kubuntu 9.04 64 bit with 2.6.28-3-rt running and
with almost
every music related apps and libraries compiled from scratch.
You probably saved yourself a lot of headache there. From what I've
been hearing, the distros have been dropping the ball on the A/V
packages lately. (I hear 64Studio is nice though.) Compiling your own
seems to solve all kinds of problems. Besides, 90% of what I expect
from a distro is easy security updates. But how often have you seen a
security exploit in something like Rosegarden or Ardour that somebody
could honestly use to hack your machine?
For stuff like A/V software, why NOT do local compiles? :)
