rt-sources, as supported by Ingo, Thomas, Steven, Daniel and others,

has *never* supported non-open source video drivers. You can use them

but real-time performance has never been guaranteed, they say it never

will be guaranteed, and don't bother reporting rt-problems if you use

one. The problem with the closed source drivers is there is no way to

look at the code to guarantee it's written in a real-time safe manner.

Therefore you use them at your own risk in terms of real-time

operation.
