I put rtc-device=/dev/hpet in .mplayer/config. After doing so, i use
mplayer to play some videos. And I got such message "Failed to open 
/dev/hpet: Permission denied (it should be readable by the user.)". 

Then i chmod 777 /dev/hpet, I got another message " Failed to open
/dev/hpet: Device or resource busy (it should be readable by the user.)

Thanks a lot.
