Does anyone know if the win4lin sources kernel includes pre-emption and low
latency, or where to get the specific patches so I may apply them manually
before compiling.

You can find the patches here

You cannot compile in the preemptive option because win4lin is
incompatible with it.

Also I found the low latency patch caused double clicks not to get
recognised any more on the desktop in Win4lin.

YMMV.

I guess I'll stay with my Vanilla 2.4.19 kernel then. With it I manually
applied the lowlatency patch, the preemption patch, then the Win4Lin kernel
patch and lastly the mki-adapter patch (I believe this is the correct
order, if not it was the win4lin stuff first, but I think it makes more
sense for teh kernel stuff first)
This kernel has been working flawlessly, no compile issues or anything. I
justy thought gentoo maintainers had built us a new kernel and were going
to keep up with it.
If I knew how ot build a kernel ebuild I'd try and build a 2.4.20 with
win4lin from teh vanilla source and submit it (I don't see a vanilla
2.4.20)?
