[PlanetCCRMA] firewire status in fc7

[grae]

Hi Fernando,

I was using the rt kernel as documented in your steps for fc6.  I did
a search for the error message that I had received and found this post
from the mailing list.

http://ccrma-mail.stanford.edu/pipermail/planetccrma/2007-June/013373.html

It did make me aware of what the problem was, but the user in that
case ended up moving back to fc6.  Unfortunately for me that is a very
undesirable path, unless somehow I can get my SGI 1600sw monitor to
work in dual display. (good luck!)  I'm not a linux guru, but I have
messed around with xorg.conf enough to know that I don't want to go
there again if I don't have to.

I would really like to be able to use ccrma to help pull me away from
my mac.  I guess firewire might not be top priority, but if I recall
correctly Freebob recommends ccrma as the distro to use, so it will be
great to hear if there is a solution to this.  Maybe I should talk to
them about it :)

I do appreciate all your hard work. :)
