hi all ... i'm trying to run the closed-source nvidia kernel module with a realtime preemption kernel. but starting the x server, the screen remains blank ... dmesg says: NVRM: Trying to sleep during raised irql!! NVRM: are we holding a lock? NVRM: skipping os_delay is this a known issue? are there any workarounds? thanks in advance ... tim -- mailto:TimBlechmann@xxxxxx ICQ: 96771783 http://www.mokabar.tk latest mp3: kMW.mp3 http://mattin.org/mp3.html latest cd: Goh Lee Kwang & Tim Blechmann: Drone http://www.geocities.com/gohleekwangtimblechmannduo/ After one look at this planet any visitor from outer space would say "I want to see the manager."
