Did both patches apply correctly?
Theoretically, there shouldn't be any conflicts between them, as the RTL patch
is effectively adding the capability to intercept interrupts before Linux and
to prevent Linux from disabling interrputs on the hardware level, while the
lowatency patch keeps the Linux kernel from not rescheduling for extended
periods of time. In other words, lowlatency is in the middle of the Linux
kernel, while RTL is between Linux and the hardware.
Anyway, I've seen posts from a few people successfully using RTL or RTAI and
together with the lowlatency patch, so it seems to be doable in real life as
well.
For various reasons, I've *still* not tried this myself - probably because I
only really need it for a project at work; one that has had very low priority
lately.
