kernel-rt_trace and nvidia

I am using kernel-rt_trace.
Now the nvidia driver does not work anymore.
SDB:NVIDIA drivers - openSUSE

Why not try loading the latest NVIDIA driver done the hard way?

SDB:NVIDIA the hard way - openSUSE

Thank You,

No Problem.

Just wanted to know if that works before trying.

I don’t think they, ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/, provide a kernel module built for any rt-kernel.

May I ask why you have chosen to use that kernel variant?

I don’t know what its features are, just a bit curious.

Cheers

It is for low latency (audio recording workstation).

solved :

installed kernel -rt
kernel-source-rt
kernel-devel-rt

downloaded from nvidia site the latest nvidia driver .

sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-260.19.21.run

and reboot.

Ok, I have only used the kernel-rt, never -trace.

Good to see graphics works!

Cheers

I never used kernet_rt_trace before.
do not really know the difference between rt and trace
Kernel-rt is good for very low latency recording needed the rtc timer.

I believe trace is used for debugging of the kernel code and contains additional code to trace the operations. Don’t see a reason to use it for normal operations.
