If you're root then that seems odd. The only things I would have thought likely to do that are the permissions on /dev/rtc which should be irrelevant as root can open any file. The other thing would be the dev.rtc.max-user-freq kernel configuration value but that only limits non-root users.

Maybe your kernel (or your hardware) has some hard limit on the
setting of the RTC frequency?

I guess I lied slightly. :) I'm running the front end setuid root. Maybe the front end is dropping root privs in the relevant thread before trying to do what it is doing? Hmm, /dev/rtc is rw by group audio, and user mythtv is in that group.


I'm looking into building an Xorg server with DRM... we'll see how it goes :)
