 Alessio, I can help testing any fixes for fglrx.

Install fglx and send the output of this command:
cat /var/lib/dkms/*/*/build/make.log

 like to learn how to package, maintain and test an -rt kernel, as that is
 the ideal kernel to me and I wish to help keep it going.  (I will update the
 wiki page with this change a little later)

Good.

 Also, I can do a little cleaning up of the writing on the wiki page.  I have
 a quick question about that.  When you write The -preempt and -rt kernels
 are died, aren't it?  I'm not clear what the exact meaning is.  Do you
 mean:

 Have the -preempt and -rt kernels died?  [Perhaps meant as a rhetorical
 question i.e. this wiki page is going to answer that question]

Sorry for my very bad English. :-(

The -preempt and -rt kernels are died. Definitely.

If reading the FAQ you prefer -rt over -realtime you know that you
must provide a lot of help. Otherwise you can give a little help for
bring to life the -realtime kernel and learn how live with it.

 Also, when it is mentioned that there needs to be a solid FAQ, is that meant
 on just kernels in general, on just that wiki page, or for Ubuntu Studio in
 general?

I meant specifically about soft and hard real time kernels which
missed a decent FAQ section.

Ciao,
Alessio

 I am no developer, just heavy user. So we are going to deal linux kernel
 for heavy audio use this way?

KernelTeam is outdated.

Use https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev instead.

Hi All,

 I really need of someone could take care of a little wiki page about
 all real time kernels (differences, reasons, TODO, list of volunteers,
 packing status and so on). In this way new comers could find reply to

Since no one have offered to handle a simple and single wiki page I
did it by myself.
Please take a minute to see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RealTime

Obviously feel free to officially assign yourself on something
changing accordingly above mentioned wiki page. ;)

Thanks.

Hi,

I really need of someone could take care of a little wiki page about
all real time kernels (differences, reasons, TODO, list of volunteers,
packing status and so on). In this way new comers could find reply to
their questions.

Moreover a bit of interest exist for video closed drivers. Is there a
volunteer to handle DKMS packages?
I could provide all relevant code which fix compatibility with real
time kernels but I don't enough time to handle uploading that code
(that is sending patch to nvidia or fglrx Ubuntu maintainer or upload
a fix package to PPA). In this way we could support closed video
drivers and in general all DKMS base drivers.

Ciao,
Alessio
