i am having the same problem. the only fix i know for now
is not to run smp kernel.

if i use smp my clock runs fast and armagetronad, the game
i play the most, the motorcycles just take off and run much
to fast and u dont have any control of the game.

nexuiz plays fine though.

i did read something a couple of days ago that amd released
a driver for windoes that brings theis problem which is in windoes
environments under control.
