Re: [LAD] timers

Summarized:

I guess my mobo supports hpet :).

$ dmesg | grep -i hpet
[ 0.000000] ACPI: HPET 77EE89C0, 0038 (r1 ATI ASUSACPI 42302E31
AWRD 98)
[ 0.000000] ACPI: HPET id: 0x8200 base: 0xfed00000
[ 0.000999] hpet clockevent registered
[ 0.000999] HPET: 4 timers in total, 0 timers will be used for
per-cpu timer
[ 0.177117] hpet0: at MMIO 0xfed00000, IRQs 2, 8, 0, 0
[ 0.177123] hpet0: 4 comparators, 32-bit 14.318180 MHz counter
[ 1.166497] rtc0: alarms up to one month, 242 bytes nvram, hpet irqs

1. The kernel has to support it too.
2. If the kernel-rt does support it, I need to add a startup script:

    chgrp audio /dev/hpet
    echo 1024 > /proc/sys/dev/hpet/max-user-freq
    modprobe snd-hrtimer
      

Here I don't understand what the value 1024, written to max-user-freq
does mean ;).

3. I need to launch JACK2 with the option "-c", e.g.:

jackd -Rc h -dalsa -dhw:0 -r96000 -p512 -n2 -Xseq

4. The sequencer timing source needs to be set up to hpet or hrtimer too?
rosegarden -v 1.7.3 and qtractor -v 0.4.3.1418 aren't able to do it?

Or will the "-c" option for JACK2 replace a chosen timer for Qtractor or
Rosegarden with hpet?

device driver rather than the original "rtc" driver."

I guess this is within the vanilla kernel source code?!
