It can be set to two speeds, 800Mhz or 1600Mhz. When set to 800Mhz, Linux thinks that time is passing twice as fast as normal - if I let the laptop sit for an hour, it claims that two have passed. Are there any known workarounds or fixes for this? If not, are there any suggestions for dirty hacks? Hard-coding the kernel to run the clock half as fast would be sufficient; I never need to set the bus speed to full when in Linux. Incidentally, I briefly thought that I was getting -fantastic- battery life, although I was confused about how fast it became midnight. :]=20 Oh, well.
