I wouldn't do that. The nvidia
drivers have a history of causing xruns.
Not that its that bad though. I have always used the nvidia drivers, and
they work just fine as long as you don't go below 1024 frames.
I wouldn't
necessarily agree. I've tried several versions of the NVidia
driver on an RT patched SuSE kernel and the only time I gent XRUNs is if
the screensaver kicks in when I'm recording. I'm using a setting of 128
Frames/Period.
I go down to 3x64 (firewire) with rt-patched and the nvidia-binary-driver
loaded. Of course without xruns...
The only disadvantage of binary drivers is that the kernel guys will not help
you debugging if the problem is only there when the blob is loaded. Otherwise
the nvidia-driver works just fine.
