Thank you, regarding to
http://lists.linuxaudio.org/pipermail/linux-audio-tuning/2012-May/000147.ht…
you've got similar issues.
Since there are other issues on my AV Linux (Debian stable) install
using a 3.0, I'll use a 2.6 kernel, when I drop 3.2.0-23-lowlatency for
Precise. OTOH for a while some 3.0 or 3.x was ok on Arch, but now it's
broken too.
Anyway, perhaps somebody has got an idea:

I guess that later today I'll restore the nvidia's xorg.conf and build a
non-rt preempt 3.0 and/or 2.6 with threadirqs.
Perhaps I'll keep the current kernel after installing a new kernel and
will subscribe to the tuning list.
On Debian list somebody has many issues with latest kernel, while he or
she hasn't with 2.6. I guess non-audio usage.

New subject: rt prio with kernel 3.x, issue to use the vesa driver
Did for anyone using a 3.0 rt or 3.x rt work to patch the kernel or to
patch the nvidia driver to get the rt working with the nvidia driver?
Both methods didn't work for me. To ensure that a patch might be buggy,
I edited manually.
Nouveau does work too slow and too buggy on my machine. After updating X
on Arch, the nv driver that still is kept didn't work anymore.
Old installs without issues can't be used with my new card, a RME HDSPe
AIO, because I need COMPLETE ALSA ex .24 and this can become an issue.
New installs became an issue regarding to the graphics.
It might be, that a kernel full preempt with threadirqs might be ok too,
but until now I get this 3.x issues.
Perhaps I shouldn't waste other people's and my time and simply build
the last 2.6 kernel full preempt without rt.
I hope this will be solved before it becomes impossible to use 2.6
kernels for major distros.
Regards,
Ralf
