/etc/rcS.d
README  S13pcmciautils  S25brltty  S37apparmor  S47lm-sensors
S55urandom  S69switch_xorg.conf  S70x11-common

I added S69switch_xorg.conf to switch between two xorg.conf. One for the
generic Kernel + the proprietary driver added by the repositories and
another for a self-build preemption real-time kernel:




#! /bin/sh
# /etc/rcS.d/Switch_xorg_conf

rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
case $(uname -r) in
    *rt*)
        cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.nv /etc/X11/xorg.conf
        ;;
    *)
	cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.nvidia /etc/X11/xorg.conf
        ;;
esac

I guess it doesn't work for Maverick. My Maverick seems to be very good
for audio production, but I still have to set up countless
configurations.

IMO we should get rid of PA.

:D

I shouldn't switch the distro and you shouldn't switch to Natty.

I wonder that the successor isn't implemented, anyway, envy24control is
ok too.

Is there any information about what a maintainer needs to take care? How
to crosscompile for different architectures etc.?

We should rework and collect together solutions for problems. Perhaps
somebody can post this at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio 

There's no Documentation Team!

Unfortunately my English is broken and I don't have that much knowledge,
but I'm willing to write some workarounds.

Some people here with more knowledge might write howtos and link to that
howtos as replies to mails, instead of writing this just in a mails.
