[LAU] Jack problems on Dell M90

I'm hoping I'll be able to find someone else with a similar setup that has
overcome their problems to get realtime operation, at least in one
direction, with no xruns.

Setup:
Dell M90 (intel-hda audio)
Kernel 2.6.24 RT PREMPT SMP from gentoo pro-audio feed
quadro 1500fx with nvidia driver (i'd really like to keep this driver,
unless compiz works now with the nv driver)

I've tried multiple combinations of: irqpoll noacpi noapic pci=biosirq, some
combinations help to reduce latency, but not enough to be useable

I have GNX4 Guitar interface that works as a usb device, its almost useable
with the same settings the intel-hda card skips with.
I have an Opteron with sb-live that no no latency problems, and the GNX4
works great with it.

What suggestions for Frames/Period, Sample Rate, Periods/Buffer would people
reccomend to make this useable. I really just want to be able to mix and
output audio in realtime on my laptop with its intel-hda card, full duples
with the GNX4 on it would be an added bonus.

If anyone is willing to look over the kernel config I can send them It,
didn't want to clutter the list with it now.
