Kernel-rt issues solved, but configuring X still is a PITA

2010-12-27 Thread Ralf
with the self build kernels-rt and the multimedia PREEMPT RT from the repositories using the FLOSS nv driver. 64 Studio 3.0 is based on Ubuntu Hardy and 3.3 on Ubuntu Lucid too. As a test I installed the package 'linux-kernel-rt', currently it will install 2.6.31-11-rt. Now I can run the kernel-rt from the repository too, unfortunately still with the GDM login menu issue too. I need a solution for the 'nv' driver and I also will check out the 'nvidia' driver, while the issue shouldn't be solved just by using the proprietary driver ;). Any hints are welcome. Cheers!
