Hi. I've been watching this list for a while but never posted. I've |
| 2 |
searched forums, googled, asked on IRC, etc for a month or two, with no |
| 3 |
results. |

I have gentoo running on a Powerbook 12" (867mhz), and here is the biggest |
| 6 |
problem I'm having: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
My clock is 1.2 seconds per minute fast. There are no jumps, the clock is |
| 9 |
completely even, it's just fast. The hardware clock (/proc/driver/rtc) is |
| 10 |
fine, it's always exactly on time. I've tried ntpd and for some reason |
| 11 |
that doesn't work. I don't know why, it doesn't put anything in the log |
| 12 |
except when I start/stop it. At the moment I am using ntpdate every |
| 13 |
minute with my ntp server, but obviously that's not a solution. It's a |
| 14 |
laptop, it doesn't always have the internet. When I try telling ntpdate |
| 15 |
to use the adjtime option (-B) it does nothing, even if I leave it for |
| 16 |
days. I heard that the program "clockspeed" would fix this exact |
| 17 |
problems, but it seems that doesn't work for PPCs. |
| 18 |
|

I basically just need some way to keep my system time exact with my |
| 20 |
hardware time. |

Thanks for reading, |
