No server or process is running, except for KDE ;-) .

It is likely that my interrupts cause problems. Thanks to the post of  
"thewade" I found on my machine:

cat /proc/interrupts
           CPU0
  0:    1320101          XT-PIC  timer
  1:       3169          XT-PIC  i8042
  2:          0          XT-PIC  cascade
  8:          2          XT-PIC  rtc

NMI:          0
LOC:          0

It seems that interrupt 11 is a bit overcrowded, but I have no clue how 
to put the USB bus to another IRQ.

If I understood correctly, the realtime module does nothing else than 
grant non-root-users access to realtime priorities. It doesn't change 
any further latency settigns on your machine.

I'm sorry, but I really have no knowledge to help you on this issue.


Best regards
