Once you are through with the installation of PCQLinux 2007, you can apply the following tweaks to get the distro to work smoothly on your machine.
Now create another normal user.
Problem: I have installed PCQLinux 2007, but during start up when processes are starting continuously a message saying 'timer went backwards...' is shown. The notebook I have installed PCQLinux has a core duo processor. Now when I enter the startx command, by default, it enters the gnome desktop. How should I login to the KDE desktop?
Also I found the clock moves very fast, for each second the clock seems to count 2 secs. I changed the time in BIOS but still after logging in Linux, it shows wrong time that changes at a faster speed. I would also want to know how I can login to the different desktops type-Home, Media Center, Scientific or Development? All I found was one icon in the gnome desktop, which when double clicked installed something related to Java. Both the Xen written and non-written boot options at booting time, after giving startx command, lead you to the gnome desktop.
Solution: For the issue of fast moving clock, open the file named grub.conf, found in /boot/grub, in a text editor. There will be one or more lines which say:
kernel
To the end of this line, add clock=pit, after a space. For example, currently I am running FC6 on my notebook and have the following line:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2868.fc6 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
So this line will be changed to:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2868.fc6 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet clock=pit
Now reboot the machine to see it working.
