It is written for MDK but same rules apply for PCLOS. http://livecd.berlios.de/ These guys are devs for PCLOS as well. Did a little research on this RT issue last night... So using the kernel above, (Im sure you know this already but for the record) 1./ #rmmod capability #rmmod commoncap #modprobe realtime any=1 gid=29 2./ "gid=29" assumes your user is added to group 29. The realtime gid option can be for any group number. 3./ Set jack to run R/T in either Qjackctl or whatever. This gave me RT operation with no issues. Had it running at 64 x 2 48000 on my XP 2500+, 1 gig, Delta 1010LT, Alsa 1.09rc2. Only the odd Xrun when Ardour or some other apps fire up or shut down. >can you give me some general tips on what your alsa/jack/kernel setup is >with pclinuxos, which repositories you have enabled etc ... > >help would be much appreciated, and i hope this can be as good as it >sounds :) > >shayne > > > > > Also mentioned the issues I found in installing some apps from Thac's to Thac via email and IRC. He is looking at those as time permits. Cheers, R~
