Re: [gentoo-user] clock problems software clock 20x fast

[Noah J Norris <preludelinux@mchsi.com>]

hardware clock = 6:53 pm software clock = 11:01 pm ....  
hardware clock is correct but the software is already 4 hours fast after a day 
it gets days ahead

using cpu freq but have no driver loaded for changing the cpu speed so 
currently uses default speed all the time at 2.5ghz
