> I had this same problem with KDE's clock, except mine was always 12 hours
off. I would reset the time and if I rebooted or did a kill sig hup the time
was off again. As with you I noticed that the Hardware clock was fine
though. What I did is turn on the 'enhanced real time clock support' up with
the kernel. It should be under the character devices menu. I rebuilt the
kernel image then and rebooted and I have never had a problem with my system
clock since. I load the ertcs directly into the kernel as the program is
very small and I have not noticed any appreciable slowdown with it running.
