My kernel is 2.6.18. For quite a few versions now I > had an option called CONFIG_HZ_1000 that is used to set the boot time > default value. Erm, CONFIG_HZ is not related to the RTC. And i didn't know a kernel compile time option for configuring the default max user freq for rtc existed.. Mind to let us know more [i.e. the name of the config option?].. Lee's proposal was to change the default max frequency an ordinary user could set the rtc to from 64hz to something usable like 1024 hz. I would even plea for going higher.. I.e. 4096hz.
