As workaround I would rather add frequencies in local_conf.py, in cas you are happy with the pinnaccle card :) This would preserve future updates of the freq.py
It might as well the linux driver for the pinnaccle card who produces the wrong frequencies. Seen some patches floating around http://64.233.183.104/search?q=cache:qeJaCs-jkmQJ:www.spinics.net/lists/kernel/msg236766.html+xtal+pinnacle+linux+frequency&hl=nl So perhaps a updated driver for you're pinnacle card might solve the problem on a more usefull way? To use the latest versions you need probably to compile it. Don't know if it will solve the problem. Only way to find out is error and trial :) Geert > Well, here's a late reply on this topic.
