I do achieve real-time (stable, low-enough latency), but it doesn't last. On 2017-07-17 08:31, Piotr Gregor wrote: > Just to clarify: does the laptop works fine with other, non-rt-patched kernel?

I have not done exactly that – I have added the RT patch and CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL option (with dependencies) to the package source from which the original kernel was built. I can try the 'make oldconfig' with a working non-rt kernel config next time, but I won't be able to do that in the next week. > You may have to do some tricks to get GUI with reasonable graphics though > but this should give you runnable, stable system. I use GUI applications, rely on working OpenGL. Graphics is 'reasonable' as long as the system is stable, but sooner or later it locks-up/crashes. Here are two of the kernel configs I have tried: https://gist.github.com/Jajcus/9af258ae55555afb126537e42d697d76 I suspect some firmware/hardware related thing which triggers the problem.
