No idea, never used it. > That's what I use since quite some time, with no lockups ever. My assumption is that the sudden shutdowns are triggered by some kind of race condition when switching CPU speed. If powernowd switches less often than cpudyn, it may indeed be significantly less likely to trigger. Of course, cpudyn could be configured to switch less often to verify that theory. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | Debian (powerpc), X and DRI developer Libre software enthusiast | http://svcs.affero.net/rm.php?r=daenzer
