Re: EBook Reader (was Re: [PATCH] RFC: ReadActivity fullscreen, paging changes)

I don't know how/if it fits, but I've been using FBReader on my n800 and 
it is very, very good.

Hmmm, odd.  After setting the hwclock with --utc, my /etc/adjtime has 
"UTC" but, when I cycled power, my system clock was off by my timezone.
Ahh, my /etc/adjtime has "0" instead of "UTC" on the second line.

OK, setting my hwclock to utc shows /etc/adjtime has "UTC", but after 
rebooting it gets reset to "0" (localtime), causing the incorrect time 
offset.

Re: Clock?

FWIIW, the hardware clock configuration is set to use localtime by 
default.  This can be reconfigured to use UTC (see /etc/rc.sysinit which 
includes the config file /etc/sysconfig/clock if it exists), but it 
probably isn't worth the effort.

WRT my previous advice on using hwclock, do *not* use the --utc flag.

hwclock --systohc

...and the, in a root shell (open the terminal and su), use hwclock to 
set the hardware clock from the system time (I also set it to UTC, 
should be a Good Thing, but no guarantees).

hwclock --systohc --utc
