While testing this, I found that on my system the monotonic clock only has a resolution of 4000250 ns (about 4 ms), which in your original patch would have caused VDR not to use the monotonic clock.
That suggests that your kernel is built with HZ=250 (CONFIG_HZ in /proc/config.gz).
I'm running the default SUSE 10.2 kernel.
That says nothing (to me) about how it's configured... :-)
Are there actually systems that have a 1 ms resolution?
Any with HZ=1000, I expect :-)
Ok, I see.
I'll make it a 5 ms limit then, to allow default kernels to work.
Valid HZ options are 100, 250, 300 and 1000, unless overridden by an arch-specific Kconfig file. (AFAICS, only mips does this, offering 48, 100, 128, 250, 256, 1000 and 1024.)
I have one computer on which I use HZ=100; however, it has no DVB devices.
