I have an MSI Wind purring happily along using a custom-compiled 2.26.29-rc3-rt6 kernel. Main reason for not using vanilla rt Ubuntu 9.04 kernel is that we discovered having issues with hibernation. Everything works out-of-box including webcam, wireless, standby, hibernate, compiz, 64x2 jack on internal soundcard at 48KHz (this actually breaks Pd apparently as it cannot handle such small buffers and gets zombified :-) etc. I guess the reason I am posting this is if anyone would like to try DISIS version I would greatly appreciate any feedback. You can get it from <http://ico.bukvic.net/Linux/Kernels/>. If interested, I can also upload latest version with debugger disabled which brings the download down from 277MB to roughly 25MB... FWIW, as an added bonus, MSI Wind laptops have a manufacturer built-in BIOS feature allowing CPU overclocking from 1.6GHz up to 2GHz by simply pressing fn+f10.
