Hi Barry,

this is a bug in the shipping raq3, the manufacturing line doesn't set the real time clock to 24 hour mode... this is going to be fixed in the next update, but
until then here is a quick program to set it correctly.  just do a:

gcc -O2 mfg-fix-rtc.c -o mfg-fix-rtc
./mfg-fix-rtc

as root on your raq3 and a cat on /proc/rtc should show "24hr : yes". (the -O2
is necessary for outb() to work)

-duncan

Okay that done the trick.

[root@boobox /root]# ./mfg-fix-rtc
[root@boobox /root]# cat /proc/rtc
rtc_time        : 07:18:25
rtc_date        : 2000-01-21
rtc_epoch       : 1900
alarm           : 10:40:00
DST_enable      : no
BCD             : yes
24hr            : yes
square_wave     : no
alarm_IRQ       : no
update_IRQ      : no
periodic_IRQ    : no
periodic_freq   : 1024
batt_status     : okay
[root@boobox /root]#

we are now in 24Hr Mode.
