The X server does not like major time skew in either direction. This is a limitation of current XFree86. There is a patch recently committed to CVS which attempts to handle the timeskew problem however it is not currently known if it works correctly or if it causes other problems. I have backported this patch to 4.2.1 and also 4.1.0, and it is available for testing in my 8.0 directory at the URL in my sig. 4.2.1-9.4 or later. -- Mike A.
