Hi,
I am wanting to use the eeepc for a mobile sound generation unit,
but unfortunately the gfx card and sound card share the same
interrupt.
This is not necessarily a showstopper. At least in theory. Do you
have any empirical evidence that it's a problem for you?
xruns..
OK. And you're sure the IRQ priorities were set correctly, realtime
kernel used, JACK in realtime mode, etc?
I would think that if you can disable the VSYNC interrupt from the gfx
card, that it would be even less of a problem. In my experience,
VSYNC interrupts on Linux don't help anyway - I've compared the
results with and without it enabled on both ATI and NVIDIA cards and
the display tears horribly (esp. when playing movies or moving windows
quickly) either way.
Sounds good. How do I disable that?
In the control panel for your video card. nvidia-settings for nvidia,
amdcccle for ATI, no idea for Intel.
