I don't do much with Wine, but if I can get it working on my 64bit Kubuntu 12.04, with the patch for my wonderful wheel, and any nVidia (NonFree) driver - I'd be over the moon! I'll happily test anything on the platform too, if all goes well. It's not looking too bad so far. The patch (which worked on 3.8rc3) applied to your 3.6-rt-L_pa kernel source and I was able to select it in make xconfig. I also selected Latencytop, which I've heard of, but not used. Build and install just finished - with the (now familiar) dkms problems. I think I know what to do. Just drag the script into an xterm window and hit enter it says: http://ubuntuxtreme.com/howto/how-to-install-nvidia-310-14-drivers-major-changes/ > Nvidia should work fine - since i am a long-time Nvidia user (and I am > using the latest 313.09 with rt / L_pa), that is a must have for me.

(2013 so far, has been extremely busy at work for me). I think I'll try just running with the kernel and whatever GPU driver it can manage to work with, just to see if the wheel patch works etc. > I've got a small Wiki up too (now) that might answer a few of your > other questions, i'll be adding some more stuff, (again) once i can > free up some time (soon). Thanks for all the work you've put in already on this. I've a feeling it's going to be very popular... -- John.
