Hello,

I had a problem (1.5.9) where readclock always returned '-q'. It turned out
that /dev/mem was not set properly. one should 'mknod /dev/mem c 1 1'. I had
it as a block device - never had a problem.

Is there any documentation about how these should be set? I guess 'port'
and 'kmem' should be character-devices too.
