-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello Bruno,
I saw your post to d-laptop in response to astryx last week, and I have a similar problem. I hope you don't mind me mailing you this way. My system is a Toshiba Satellite A40 and I'm using packages powernowd and klaptop. TIA for looking at this, Frans Pop My kernel is self-compiled from kernel-source-2.6.7 (version 2.6.7-4). The output from acpidmp is available from: http://home.tiscali.nl/isildur/toshiba/acpidmp.out.bz2 If I use the 'p4-clockmod' module to step my processor, I have: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq$ cat scaling_driver p4-clockmod [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq$ cat scaling_governor userspace [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq$ cat scaling_available_frequencies 349991 699982 1049973 1399965 1749956 2099947 2449938 2799930 But during boot I also get (from /var/log/kern.log): kernel: p4-clockmod: P4/Xeon(TM) CPU On-Demand Clock Modulation available kernel: p4-clockmod: Warning: Pentium 4-M detected. The speedstep-ich or acpi cpufreq modules offer voltage scaling in addition of frequency scaling. You should use either one instead of p4-clockmod, if possible. However, the 'speedstep-ich' module only gives me: $ cat scaling_driver speedstep-ich $ cat scaling_governor userspace $ cat scaling_available_frequencies 2799930 1599960 And if I use the 'acpi' module I get: $ cat scaling_driver acpi-cpufreq $ cat scaling_governor userspace $ cat scaling_available_frequencies 2800000 1600000 65535000 65535000 65535000 65535000 65535000 65535000 65535000 65535000 65535000 65535000 65535000 65535000 65535000 So, the only driver that gives me a nice range of frequencies is p4-clockmod. I'm having another problem, which is that linux ACPI doesn't seem to recognize my fan properly. The state is always off, even if I can clearly hear the fan running. (Not sure if this is related.) /proc/acpi/fan/FAN$ cat state status: off My processor is: $ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 15 model : 2 model name : Mobile Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz stepping : 9 cpu MHz : 1596.246 cache size : 512 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 2 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe cid bogomips : 3164.53 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBRbe8gm/Kwh6ICoQRAh/+AJ0UkgqPAOd8Fjl/yPF61DXCUAXRswCbBU+6 Yh0Qz7BWwq4OxQg8m8vdRZs= =cKMB -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
