My BIOS (sony PCG-150K) doesn't give me any power saving options at all. It basically says "under ACPI there are no options here" and there no ACPI on/off options either. This also means that the apm doesn't work at all (hangs the machine on boot). Will I have to wait for ACPI tool to mature before I can turn speedstep on/off? ATM when my machine is idle x86info tells me its 6Mhz and when I compile the kernel it goes back up to 850. With speedstep disabled does x86info always return the same value? sam -- sam clegg work : [EMAIL PROTECTED] home : [EMAIL PROTECTED] www : http://www.superduper.net gpg key : http://www.superduper.net/~samc/key.gpg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
