I probably don't need it, but just in case.... could you attach your X server config file and log? It might come in handy perhaps while troubleshooting. Might this be because X events are timestamped? "Old" events would therefore get ignored. I get the same problem when correcting the clock under a number of different window managers (kwin, metacity, afterstep). Quick workaround is to switch to another VT and back again. Just a thought.

X server log file
Switching to a VT then back does not solve the problem. I have attached my X config/log files. Created attachment 83605 [details]

This patch seems to solve my problem.
There is a also a fix by Egbert Eich in xfree cvs : http://cvsweb.xfree86.org/cvsweb/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/common/xf86Io.c.diff?r1=3.49&r2=3.50 290. Fixed GetTimeInMillis() to use deltas instead of absolute time returend by gettimeofday(). This ensures time is monotonic in X (Egbert Eich). Indeed Egbert's fix is in CVS. I have backported the fix to 4.2.1 and 4.1.0, and it will appear in all future erratum releases. Thanks guys. |
