Hello,

when a Xenomai POSIX thread switches to secondary mode, how can I define 
the policy and priority under which it should run under the Linux 
scheduler, especially, with SCHED_FIFO.

The Xenomai POSIX API function pthread_setschedparam() described in

http://www.xenomai.org/documentation/trunk/html/api/group__posix__sched.html#g95276f88e1a2cae7a37f792123a99144

does switch the thread to primary mode when the SCHED_FIFO policy is 
specified and therefore cannot be use for the secondary mode.

Wolfgang.
