Re: [Lcd4linux-devel] Two new FIXMEs in timer code :)

[Martin Z. <co...@mz...>]

Hi Michael,

I wanted to get rid of this time skew business once and forever.  So I 
checked my assumptions with the "date --set" command.

I was completely right regarding the timers' behaviour on clock skews. 
So I updated the clock skew testing routine to check for

   now + timer.delay + CLOCK_SKEW_DETECT_TIME_IN_S

Moreover, I changed the clock skew correction routine to subtract the 
detected clock skew from *all* timers.

Finally, I checked this extensively using "date --set".  Although my 
system once got a little unstable, but "lcd4linux" simply kept on 
running.  So I guess we're done here.

I committed my changes to the repository.  Feel free to try it out 
yourself (but I advise you to close all applications before you start 
manipulating the Linux system time).

All the best,

Martin
