Perhaps you don't have RTC support in your kernel. Are you using the default SuSE kernel? What does the output of the following command say?:

$ dmesg | grep -i "real time clock" Real Time Clock Driver v1.10e $

Real Time Clock Driver v1.10e - default kernel. It did the same on RH 7.3 Changing MPlayer to suid did the trick. I know it's not the most secure way, but this is a single user system that's not on any network, so it doesn't really matter. Thanks for the advice!
