realtime problem

[Bernd Walter]

I need a realtime behavour in the (-current) kernel with 1ms
resolution and a presision of 500us.
I thought about these two ways:
- use timeout(9), but it seems that on i386 we only have a
  resolution of 10ms.
  And I don't know of what presision quality I can expect.
  Can the resolution changed to 1ms as we have on alpha?
- attach to the clock service routine.
  I asume the presision will be good enough.
  But how can I find out the resolution on a given hardware?

What is the best way to solve the problem?
