| Hi
I have strange problem. When I'm starting mplayer it says mi that there
is a problem with Linux RTC: permision denied (the options are:
crwx------) when I change it for example for 0777 it tells me that there
is no such device...
and I have no idea what to do...
can anybody help me???

Seems like either your processor doesn't have a realtime clock, or
you dont have the rtc driver compiled in th kernel.

Dominik,
You may need to recompile your kernel. Under kernel configuration, go
to "Character devices" then "Watchdog Cards" and select "Enhanced Real
Time Clock Support" as a module. Save, then do the following: Go to
/usr/src/linux/drivers/char and open up rtc.c in your favorite text
editor. Find "rtc_freq > 64". Change "64" to "1024". Save, go back to
/usr/src/linux and then type "make dep && make clean bzImage". When the
compile is finished, copy /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage to
/boot, make the necessary changes to LILO or GRUB and reboot. That
should solve your RTC problem with mplayer.
HTH,
Erich

Does it work as root?
