I asked a related question a while back, and got no answer (yet). I did find this though, which you might have overlooked: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/high-res-timers/ppc-hrt-2.6.10.patch?download I am equally puzzled about whether this has made it into mainstream, is about to, or never will. I don't even know if it actually works. Greetings, -- David Jander Protonic Holland.
