I have not been able to get the internal clock on my Inspiron3200 to work
under my Linux 5.2 but when my lilo boots into Win98 the clock works fine.
I'd love to be able to fix this but am still figuring it out myself. For
this reason I don't think the internal clock is "incorrect" since it does
keep good time in MSworld on it's own.
And the previous question of Neomagic chipset compatibility, it
works great under the standard Red Hat Linux 5.2 release with autodetect.
