Hi! Since coming of the linux-3.0-rt patch I've decided to try to switch to that kernel, especially the goal of the RT_PREEMPT claims to make a desktop kernel become a realtime one. Thanks to all rt-developers for this opportunity! I'm testing it on 3 platforms: 1) notebook Core2Duo T7250, 2) old Pentium 4 3.2 GHz with an old passive ISDN hisax-card, 3) even older AthlonXP 2.8 GHz with TV-tuner. The first desktop problem is: the symbol __rt_mutex_init is exported as GPL-only. This make the usage of proprietary nvidia driver impossible, while the normal __mutex_init is not only GPL. Could you change the license also for the rt_mutex_init (...and maybe few more if they being linked with nvidia/ati(?) driver just as with the vanilla "desktop" kernel)? The next issue is more complicated. On the P4 (platform 2) I use an ISDN-hisax modem card and per-second internet account. After a timeout the connection is being hung up. In firefox I have a lot of tabs. Some web pages are "active". They try to call back on their own. While this is happening my gnome freezes sometimes. SysRq-R helps sometimes to switch back to the console. But the gdm doesn't start anymore. Is this a relevant issue for the rt-project? What'd be the first place to look at to debug this behavior?
