Hi Carsten,
The control application has custom keyboard device, basically it's a PS/2 keyboard that only has special key need for it's operation. My problem is in certain condition, the application respond to the keyboard's key pressing-event is unpredictable, sometime it was late to caught the event for about 0.5 - 1 second, the application does not consume a lot of CPU time, it just wait for the pressed key. I think this a normal X behaviour.

In general, no other care than with any other RT application.
Do you wish the GUI to immediately and smoothly reflect important
states of your control application? In this case, you should
consider that the display only changes, if both the GTK+ application
and the X server react in time. For this purpose, it is sometimes
recommended to set the priority of the X server a little less
than that of the control application. Never assign the highest
priority of the system to the X server, since this may completely
block the server. A priority of < 49, however, is normally safe.
Carsten.
