Yes, I do have RTC compiled in. And, of course, APM is NOT compiled in.
I just reinstalled Linux, this time using Storm Linux 2000 with a Gnome
desktop, and compiled a kenrel 2.2.14 SMP. I get the same general thing
but now the weird times are on the order of 3500 - 8000 ms instead of some
stupid huge number. I do occasionally get negative numbers ("-7228.-7
ms") now, though I suppose those huge numbers before were *really*
negatives also.
