A LOT better when you use the right kernel... now to fix the screen resolution for the unknown monitor.

Booted up to the rt kernel and now the monitor is 1024 x 768!

Hmmm another member of this forum had this same issue with resolution, makes me think i am very lucky as i never had it with RT kernel but i did have it RTAI kernel.
Do you have any old graphic card to test with ?
P.S.
I am aware that this is not the right time to ask for graphic cards as they are harder to find than "unobtanium" due to crypto mining frenzy going on.

The generic kernel is 5.0.0-32 is there a 5 preempt rt kernel? Maybe that will have the correct video driver?

I have 4.19.0-14rt-amd64 on this debian PC but I'm using 4.19.0-13-rt

Edit: I guess I'll follow my instructions in the morning and build the 5.0 kernel

There was 5.4 that worked with LinuxCNC, there is 5.9 that has issues with everything from WiFi to.... but the good thing is if you try to install 5.9 it will warn and stop the installation.
Hmm ... just downloaded and installed
ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/lin..._5.10.13-1_amd64.deb
No complaints so far, leme reboot...

Is RT 5.4 not supposed to be the current RT stable and 5.10 the development RT kernel?

wiki.linuxfoundation.org/realtime/start

is 5.4 available as a prebuilt kernel

5.4 seems like it was a stepping stone same as 5.9 and the rest as they are nowhere to be found on the Debian servers.
5.10 is current stable, and it works with Mint 19.3 with just a bit higher latency numbers than 4.9 or 4.19.
Did not try on Mint 20 as i gave my big PC to my bro and i am left with 19.3 on all PC and laptops since i reverted back to it due to testing QtPlasmaC.

I don't think 5.10 is the current stable, but it is available from backports from Debian and is therefore presently "testing"

packages.debian.org/search?suite=default...words=linux-image-rt

as listed above / earlier the official RT Linux kernel patch is 5.4 and the current development release is 5.10
wiki.linuxfoundation.org/realtime/start

latest update of 5.10 was last Friday (19th feb)
latest release of 5.4.93 was beginning of the month (2nd feb)

I presume a lot of the older hardware bits within 5.4 and 5.10 will be the same, but maybe some of the newer hardware will be unstable

5.10 is supposed to be an LTS kernel release (5.4 may have been LTS too!) hence why I presume that backports are using it as the Long Term Support release as it should be supported until 2026..... a year later than 5.4 hence I guess why Debian is using it. Just the patch is not quite up to the same LTS level yet for them to move on to next kernel which is to be deemed as LTS version:

www.kernel.org/category/releases.html

I wonder if it is possible to easily build a debian 5.4 rt kernel using oldconfig

I installed 5.10 and tested it and the video is correct and the monitor is detected.

The latency is not as good as 4.9 but acceptable.


I did look for the 5.4 deb but could not find it, if anyone has a link to that I'd like to try that as well.

Thanks

I did look for it, it does not exist any more.
latency-histogram --nobase --sbinsize 1000 --show
That will show if there are spikes over what is shown in the screen.
