Can you try the following version? This one compiles and links without problems. The reason I want to use this patch is that I hear a high pitched noise [1] when running with 1000Hz and the processor is idle. With this patch I could use 1000Hz without any noise. But I found some problems on my system: - time does not run the correct speed, it was some minutes in future after I had compiled a new kernel - pressing a key on the keyboard sometimes results in two or more characters, not only one - mouse misses some events, e.g. clicks are not recognized (synaptics touchpad) - using software suspend 2.1.8.10 I can suspend the system, but it hangs while resuming Anyway, thanks for your great work! Let me know if you have new versions to test. [1] http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2478 -- Christian
