ahoy Cinder,

  exactly, no RT sources in the main portage tree, just the pro-audio  
overlay.  i believe there is a more recent rt-sources ebuild  
available, you just have to unmask it.  the latest unstable version is  
2.6.29.6-rt23, which works fine, unless you are using the new  
xorg-server-1.6 and the new video drivers.  hoping to find/make/etc. a  
new rt-sources soon based on the new 2.6.31.4-rt.

good luck.

peace, w
