Hola, I had a similar problem on one of the machines at work. Here is a memo I made to myself to remind me of how to fix the problem in the future: The "ACPI-safe" Timecounter does not work (it is way, WAY too fast). To get around this, add the following line to /etc/sysctl.conf: kern.timecounter.hardware=i8254 There are multiple pieces of hardware capable of supplying timing information to the OS. "dmesg | grep Timecounter" should give you a list of all such devices. I think this is an ACPI-related problem, since that is the technology I understand the least at the moment. :) -Dan -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Stephen Liu Sent: March 18, 2004 21:47 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: The clock is running too fast Hi folks, AMD CUP FreeBSD 5.2 The clock on KDE desktop is running on double speed compelling me to adjust it periodically.
