[gentoo-user] Alsa RTC and extending swap space

[gentoo-user] Alsa RTC and extending swap space

[krgn]

Hello,

Has anyone experience with the Alsa RTC-module and how install it? My
problem is only how apply the diff-files to the kernel and I would like
to know how to do it. Just how to generally do that sort of thing. 
Can anyone give me a quick tipp? Would it make a SIGNIFICANT difference
to the normal timer? I just read about that in a README in the newest
SEQ24 package www.filter24.org/seq24 I attached the file. They way Rob
put it there, it would actually be quite a performance improvement.

Also, how can one extend the swap partition after a ram-upgrade without
messing everything up? Is it just writing another partition table?

I'm on Gentoo 2.6.12-gentoo-r6 
Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz 


Thanks, 

Karsten

Sorry, can't help with the Alsa question, but if you have increased your
RAM you may wish to *reduce* as opposed to extend your swap, because
your system will have less need for it.

Isn't this included in the latest in-kernel alsa? At least I see an
option for 'RTC Timer support' under the alsa submenu of 2.6.13-rc7.

I'm not currently using the in-kernel alsa but I did try to enable the
rtc options with the emerged alsa driver with no luck. I suppose this
means that the alsa driver of 2.6.13-rc7 is newer than the latest one in
portage.
