Super-slow system clock on Acer Switch 10 (Atom Z3735F)

Hi folks,

I managed to install 64-bit Arch Linux on my Acer Switch 10. I noticed a problem with time (which may cause other problems like sluggishness of LXDM startup and switching between console and graphical ttys). Clock ticks VERY slowly, about 1 second per 4 second in real time. How can I fix this?

Problem is gone after installing xf86-video-intel and/or compiling a newer kernel (3.19) with make localmodconfig.

Unfortunately now I have another problem with tablet freezing at some point. This only happens in GUI - lxdm+lxde+chromium.

Hi!  How did this work out for you? I have installed Arch on Zotac PI320 (same CPU) and I am having the same problem. However, it seems random. Most times it runs as normal but sometimes (I think mostly when the device has been powerless) the CPU run slow, and as times passes it get slower and slower.  At first "sleep 1" takes about 2 seconds but after about 5 minutes "sleep 1" takes 5-10 seconds and gets slower with time.

Anyone familiar with this?
