Excuse my ignorance but how can I tweak the latency timer for pci cards?
Btw I got some problems with my nvidia graphics card. When I compile new a
kernel with low latency and preempt patches(actually with the low latency
patch only is ok ) Applying the preemt patch and loading the nv or nvidia
drivers gives me a nice kernel oops.
I dont think I am gonna buy anymore nvidia products from now on, they taint my
nice GPL kernel
later,
