I believe that these lines in the logfile:
GetModeLine - scrn: 0 clock: 108000
GetModeLine - hdsp: 1280 hbeg: 1328 hend: 1440 httl: 1688
vdsp: 1024 vbeg: 1025 vend: 1028 vttl: 1066 flags: 5
GetModeLine - scrn: 0 clock: 108000
GetModeLine - hdsp: 1280 hbeg: 1328 hend: 1440 httl: 1688
vdsp: 1024 vbeg: 1025 vend: 1028 vttl: 1066 flags: 5
GetModeLine - scrn: 0 clock: 108000
GetModeLine - hdsp: 1280 hbeg: 1328 hend: 1440 httl: 1688
vdsp: 1024 vbeg: 1025 vend: 1028 vttl: 1066 flags: 5
indicates that some application explicitly changed the modeline
through the XF86VidMode extension. One app that I know of that
does this is X-Screensaver. My guess is that when you changed your
system time, there was some confusion about when the screensaver
should come on and the screensaver came on and switched modelines
somehow. I assume that quiting and restarting X resolves this
problem?
Mark.
