I didn't receive a digest until now, so I'll reply to http://lists.linuxaudio.org/pipermail/linux-audio-user/2012-February/083601.html We could use the vesa driver, I didn't experienced the vesa driver neither bad for audio, nor bad for MIDI hardcore-real-time, but it's odd regarding to the supported resolutions ;), hence I didn't tested it much.
I can use the VESA driver - if I want to see my 1920x1080 LED display running at 1024x768. Too many apps these days seem to assume you've got higher resolution than that and become unusable at 1024x768.
On my machine, an ASUS M2A-VM HDMI with an integrated ATI Radeon X1250-based graphics,
I've never heard good things about ATI video and Linux.
Athlon dual-core 2.1GHz, I unmounted the HDMI thingy and mounted a NVIDIA GeForce 7200GS. Using the nv driver I get the perfect Linux MIDI DAW. Using the nouveau driver I can use it around two minutes with a slow motion performance for the DE and then I need to push the reset button, since everything is frozen. I needed to replace the ATI with the NVIDI, because the integrated ATI can't be used with 3D acceleration. I don't need 3D acceleration for the kernel-rt, but I wish to have it supported for a "regular" kernel, since I wish to be able to google the earth, if I wish to do, to produce 3D animations, if I wish to do etc.. There's no 3.2.0-rt on my machine, latest kernel I use is 3.0.x. I didn't decide to use NVIDIA. When I bought my hardware I didn't have the money to buy Intel, I decided to get ATI, since I used NVIDIA before. Much of my machine is from bulk garbage. Here NVIDI is a less PITA than ATI is. A rose is a rose is a rose. Or: Experimental is experimental is experimental. It shouldn't be the policy to drop something that works and replace it with something that currently is "experimental". The policy shouldn't be Appel"oid", IOW there should be some "elbowroom" for the used hardware. When I (we) get my (our) graphics it (they) works OOTB with Linux DAWs!
