How to check if this is right or wrong ? cat /proc/sys/kernel/lowlatency is one thing ... and the config options in the kernel are these: CONFIG_LOLAT=y CONFIG_LOLAT_SYSCTL=y CONFIG_PREEMPT=y If you have the .config for your kernel you can grep for these to see if they are turned on. debian keeps a copy of your kernel's config file in /boot, not sure if/where other distros put it. > > Nyco > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) > Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org > > iD8DBQE/HkBxvpr4VWrGaTcRAoq1AJ0ZzuHZsaVLA2QlYZrU/ayKYJrx5ACgkU+o > H7UBbp+gpDqO1wkTXWeoPgo= > =+QnR > -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
