Did it right away. Here's my /proc/rtc:
[asuardi@redrose ~]$ cat /proc/rtc rtc_time : 01:49:49 rtc_date : 1996-10-26 alarm : 05:28:44 DST_enable : no BCD : yes 24hr : yes square_wave : no alarm_IRQ : no update_IRQ : no periodic_IRQ : no periodic_freq : 1024 batt_status : okay
At 7pm I turned my PC on (no RTC yet) and surprisingly clock was OK (I had left it at 1am the night before). I fixed my XF86config as my screen was a bit too much on the right, turned PC off, went to dinner, out for the evening, back at 0:15am for the evening mail reading and clock said 19:40 :(
Two questions to all kind souls out there: 1. is it possible that battery recharges when the PC is turned on ? 2. may it be that my motherboard is somewhat disturbed by the hard reboots which kernel now defaults to ?
Thanks again,
