I missed your original post. What is the make/model of the computer. There is a known issue on some machines with the clock running fast with AMD/ATI on Linux. It *might* be the same with OpenBSD. Gateway MX7515m AMD/ATI bug - clock runs at double speed http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3927 I used - noapictimer at boot on my Linux notebook to fix the issue. Not sure that's going to help. But if it is a hardware issue, that may be enough of a start for a developer to help. Provide your hardware info. Regards...Martin
