I had tried that also, the clock speed it is running at fine is 36.1,
so I add that to the clocks line, and reboot the machine to see if it will
work and then wala it is worse than when I started. I just have to keep
rebooting the machine until it comes up on its own. I have even noticed
that it comes up at 36.1 and X windows doesn't work anyway, it is like
it comes up when it feels like it.
