Bug#418718: X suddenly died after installing ntp
Package: xserver-xorg-video-ati
Version: 1:6.6.3-2
Severity: grave
Justification: may cause data loss
Installing ntp on my system, and running it for first time made X die.
I suppose there's code somewhere written with the assumption that time always
goes forwards :-). No idea how to find it though. The Xorg logs don't
reveal anything.
I suggest you Conflict with ntp as a workaround. ntpdate is probably ok,
since X is most likely not running when the network is started.
