Hi Ben, laptop-mode-tools conf uses 'ondemand' (1.34-1, but I think it was already in etch), and my ibook g4 using the default desktop environment task and laptop task scales well. What's missing for yours or we've different default configuration for some strange reason? regards, -- stratus http://stratusandtheswirl.blogspot.com get debian @ http://get.debian.net/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
