Similar here;
setup with geforce 210 (gt218) and nvidia-rt does not show anything on the
screen. however I switched to nouveau which works acceptably for me.
another, newer nvidia card I could get to work with nvidia-rt, which built fine
with bumping current linux-rt to 3.2.11-rt20

tbh, the gt218 related problems here started somewhere around 3.2.>4?
so I haven't actually tested said config with the most current rt patch yet,
although I've seen funny stuff going on on the other setup, as well
(deactivating irq errors and such).

tl;dr, nvidia proprietary and rt kernel aren't really working atm.

cheers!
