[MPlayer-users] mplayer debian package should set sysctl for rtc (was: Re: was fixed in 1.3.25-16, set the sysctl)

[Arthur Korn]

Hi

In short, you could set sysctl dev/rtc/max-user-freq=1024 in a
init script or similar to permit users to use RTC timing.

I send you this mail since I got a bug report on the devfsd
about it.
