Which rt kernel are you booting and which version of Fedora? I've seen I think one report of something similar but it has not happened to me on the machines I have tested. Not much I can do really. > Does anyone know why this might be? Does the CCRMA driver cause a > different mouse driver to be used or something? Probably not. The configuration files for building the rt kernels are derived from the ones for the Fedora kernels so driver choice should be (I imagine) similar.

You _could_ be riskier and try the very experimental 2.6.29 rc6 rt3 based kernel. You have to enable the fc10 Planet CCRMA "testing" repository to get it (see the Planet CCRMA web page). I have run it successfully but others have reported problems (as would be expected). > > Smells like a bug in the rt patch... > > > > Where do I go to report that? That would probably be the Linux Kernel Mailing List, with a cc to Thomas Gleixner and Ingo Molnar . It probably would be useful only if there are relevant messages in the output of dmesg or in /var/log/messages > Ta for the help mate!
