Debian considers this an important bug but nVidia's assessment is unknown to date. Perhaps another rt-kernel lister can offer a quality suggestion about a likely fruitful approach to finding people able and willing to dig into what the kern.log shows is going on and direct further resolution activities. Such people are probably rt-kernel and/or nVidia developers. I could probably do it myself after three months of nothing but working on it (including in my sleep ;-) ). I'd hazard a guess the following has a lot to do with the problem: [ 6.993495] Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint I don't know what the long-term outlook for nVidia market share in the FLOSS area is. I saw hardware acceleration is apparently required for GNOME Unity. That's good for the hardware vendors, I suppose, but problematic for folks who take the L in FLOSS very seriously. I think we all wish the vendors would choose to make these problems go away by distributing their source. As RMS says, they won't if they don't have to, so we shouldn't be pragmatic, just say no thank you. Can I live without FlightGear? Why should I have to, nVidia (BTW, I was given your hardware--I wouldn't buy it)? If the gamers really are becoming Windows 8 refugees, I guess there's hope for the future. But if the governments start locking up systems programming, doling out practioner licenses, and making libre software illegal, then not. But to hopefully get back on topic, I have the impression I NEED the rt kernel because FG frame updates get behind without it. I've heard JACK audio works well enough without rt these days (but I don't believe it yet--soon enough I will be able to prove it to myself, unless I get a job). -- May the LORD God bless you exceedingly abundantly!
