[rtl] switching pb with release 0.9H

[S ANCELOT <sancelot@usa.net>]

1. I wanted to try RT linux 0.9H with linux 2.0.35 but task switching
problem have happened

To perform tests, I installed and boot rtlinux 0.9h on a gateway
p5/90Mhz
I tried frank example : it worked fine.

Then, I modified parallel/sched_toggle.c example program to make a
similar periodic task which must start each 10 ms .
I ran the program and looked at LPT output port with scopemeter to look
at its state :
     each 10 ms, my output is changing state : ok

But, when I want to sea what happens with some other functions as disk
access or graphic display ,
my rt task do not follow the timing of 10 ms as expected !!!

if I run X thanks to startx, I can sea the LPT output switch 200 ms
later !! I am no more in a RT context !!!

can somebody tell me if there is something wrong working with RT linux .

Does it mean RT linux can not accomplish this task ?


2.
cat /proc/rtlinux returns following information :

RTLinux release 9G (I think it should be 9H)
