[PlanetCCRMA] new realtime kernels for f7/8 (2.6.24.3-1.rt1.2)

[Hector Centeno]

Hi,

I just upgraded the CCRMA kernel in my laptop and found that direct
rendering is broken (so compiz doesn't work) with Intel video chips.
There is a bug report here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=433728

According to the commentaries it has been fixed in a newer version
(kernel-2.6.24.3-34.fc8) already "submitted as an update", but I guess
that doesn't mean it's available for download since yum is not
reporting any new kernel, also I guess the CCRMA kernel would have to
be rebuilt  to recover direct rendering :-(

Cheers,

Hector
