Anyone wanna see if this still exists in upcoming 9.1? I had set my laptop's system clock off by 12 hours (AM vs PM). When i noticed it, I issued a date command to correct it; but forgot to issue " hwclock -w"... Tonight, the power plug fell out and when I noticed it, the system had already reported: Mar 4 22:54:14 gypsy apmd[1192]: User Standby Mar 4 10:54:08 gypsy apmd[1192]: Standby Resume (54% 1:38) Battery power
Note how the time got reset! WHY is apmd messing with the time? Worse... when this happens, ALL mouse dragging functions stop working -- can't scroll, can't resize windows, etc. In the past, I'd tried restarting X to no avail... only a reboot appeared to fix the mouse's dragging. This time, I simply reset the correct time and wrote it to the h/w clock and mouse dragging is OK again... Weird!! Pierre
