I use the Planet CCRMA low-latency kernel for my RH9 box, and I've had
that GForce2 card since I've had this machine. I never had a problem
with them - xruns are very rare on this box. The modules always compiled
easily with the installer script as long as I had the Planet's kernel
source RPM installed.
While I'd prefer open source fort the kernel, I am at least grateful
that they're committed to continued and current support for Linux.
I just read on /. that they've released drivers for the 2.6 kernel.
