Anyway, I have my own problem with the q7 clock. Mine is running really fast. Sometimes, it went as fast as half an hour for every hour. When the device was off or suspended, the clock was still off but not as bad as when on. I asked Alex of Eletroworld. They sent me this link: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5105 New to linux, I didn't understand a bit. They offered to correct it if I sent it back; we pay half-half on delivery costs. However, I decided against sending my q7 back. The problem is annoying but not critical and I'm afraid that solving it may create another problem. And most of all, I just don't want to part with my Q7. Does anyone have solution to this run-away clock problem? Please advice.
I read the link. Looks like adding "clock=pit" to the boot options may be a functional workaround. Don't have my machine back yet, and don't know if there is even a grub or lilo configuration. Maybe someone else with some Linux experience can check?
