How do i find out if real time support is enabled on my kernel. I downloaded VMWare-2 and the documents say i need to have real time support compiled into my kernel P.S a simpler question - does debian 2.2.18 (potato) have real time support compiled by default ? one more- What does real time support do ? Is my hardware clock unreal time ? :)
VMware uses the real time clock(/dev/rtc) to sync the system timers of the virtual machine with the real clock on your system. It needs the real time support for that. Actually, you can switch off /dev/rtc while running the VM and you will notice the lag in time on the VM. If you are running lots of processes alongwith VMware, the time lag increases suddenly.
