OK here's my problem: Daylight savings time took effect the other night. My BIOS seems to be capable of taking care of this itself. KDE did too. So now my clock was 2 hrs behind.

Re: [newbie] Clock settings
Maybe you're right. I never saw a setting in BIOS, but I'll check again. I never did boot to windows. I only used win4lin. It was wierd because I was up during the time change, and it worked fine.
