The opensuse 11.1 kernel isn't preemptible because of some errors. Try compiling the opensuse or vanilla one with CONFIG_PREEMPT set.
No true, it is just not set. I change mine to "low latency desktop". Also the "Timer frequency" in the defaults SuSE kernek is set to for server use. You should change it to either 300 Hz (for a balance if you do run servers) or 1000 Hz. For best multimedia performance, here is a list of settings: ,---- | General Setup: | Disable "Optimize for size" | Disable "Control Group support" | Disable "Group CPU scheduler" | | Processor type and features: | Enable "Tickless System (Dynamic Ticks)" | Enable "High Resolution Timer Support" | Choose your CPU type in "Processor family" | Choose "Preemptible Kernel (Low-Latency Desktop)" as "Preemption Model" | Choose "1000Hz" as "Timer frequency" `---- Charles -- "Oh, I've seen copies [of Linux Journal] around the terminal room at The Labs."
