Re: [linux-audio-user] realtime parameters ignored at Gentoo startup

Thanks very much to everybody who has been helping me with this problem. I can now confirm that the way to get realtime-lsm working on Gentoo (with a 2.6 kernel) is to put the line options realtime gid=n (where n is the numeric id of the group to be allowed realtime scheduling) into /etc/modules.d/realtime, and to put the line realtime into /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 if you want the realtime module loaded at startup. For those who don't know, the numeric id of the group will be listed in /etc/group. I used the kde control center put user 'robert' into group 'audio' and I give audio (numeric id = 18) realtime priveleges. You could if you wanted create a special group called 'realtime'. That would make sense if you were also doing non-audio things that needed realtime priveleges, such as microsurgery. Run modules-update and then run "modprobe realtime" if you want to get it going without a reboot. And the mlock=1 option is indeed the default and doesn't need to be specified. Wasn't mlock how they killed Socrates? Robert. -- Robert Persson "No matter how much ye shake yer peg The last wee drap rins doon yer leg."
