Once upon a Wed, Jan 21 2004, Glenn McCord hit keys in the following order:

Ahhh, got confused again, what is it with me and january. modules.conf is
indeed the place to add the option. modprobe.conf is the one thats used by
modprobe but it's the output from generate-modprobe.conf, hence my confusion.

The command "modprobe realtime allcaps=1" is another way to supply the option.

Weird, i did the same thing, but it didn't work for me, if i remember
correctly. But then again, maybe my problem was that it compiled but didn't
actually give me any realtime priority. Like you describe i had continues
x-runs in the beginning. Now the only time i get x-runs is when an idle program
gets pulled back in focus, or when there's a lot of network activity.
