just to write it down somewhere:
using pd in realtime-mode and Gem used to crash the system on linux
(hard freeze)
the problem used to be following:
opening a glx-window when page-locking (with mlockall()) is enabled,
makes pd use 100% CPU and you cannot kill it anymore.
in combination with the realtime-scheduling this leads to a hard lock of
the system: only rebooting helps
but help is on the way:
with kernel-2.6.10 it is now possible (again) to run pd in realtime mode
and at the same time use Gem without having a hard system freeze.

PS: but be prepared to have some difficulties to get nvidia's drivers
working with 2.6.10 ;-)
hint: you have to replace "pci_find_class" with "pci_get_class" in the
nv.c-file
hint: and only 66.29 (which is the current version at this time) works
for me
