I ran a very small real time application whose sole purpose was to toggle a bit of the parallel port every 100us. In the long term I will use this to schedule events etc etc.. The application I am working on also has need for the joystick. When I ran up the current joystick driver for linux, and in particular the joystick driver for the microsoft (cringe) sidewinder it caused the system to lock up. If I slowed the rate of the real time process. to one toggle every 2ms the joystick operates normally. I used the example program for latency testing for the parallel port along with 'jstest' an example that is packaged with the current joystick driver for linux. Can anyone explain why the high rate of the real time process affects what the joystick, a common garden variety process is doing? Andrew
