Hello, I have an /etc/cpufreqd.conf that makes /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq go to 600000 on Mandriva if the system is idle. However the same configuration on Debian makes it go to 1500000 that is full speed if the system is idle. Kernel is 2.6.8-2-686. Why does the same cpufreqd configuration behave differently on Debian than on Mandriva? What is required on Debian to make it go to the minimum frequency if the system is idle?
The config file looks like: .... # this is a comment # # you need: 1 [General] section, # 1 or more [Profile] sections # 1 or more [Rule] sections # # a section ends at the first blank line # # [Rule] sample: # [Rule] # name=sample_rule # ac=on # (on/off) # battery_interval=0-10 # cpu_interval=30-60 # programs=xine,mplayer # profile=sample_profile # # [Profile] sample: # [Profile] # name=sample_profile # minfreq=10% # maxfreq=100% # policy=performance # # see CPUFREQD.CONF(5) manpage for a complete reference [General] pidfile=/var/run/cpufreqd.pid poll_interval=2 pm_type=acpi #(acpi, apm or pmu) # Uncomment the following line to enable ACPI workaround (see cpufreqd.conf(5)) # acpi_workaround=1 verbosity=4 #(if you want a minimal logging set to 5) [Profile] name=old_hi_boost minfreq=66% maxfreq=100% policy=performance [Profile] name=hi_boost minfreq=0% maxfreq=100% policy=ondemand [Profile] name=medium_boost minfreq=33% maxfreq=66% policy=performance [Profile] name=lo_boost minfreq=0% maxfreq=33% policy=performance [Profile] name=lo_power minfreq=0% maxfreq=33% policy=powersave # conservative mode when not AC [Rule] name=conservative ac=off # (on/off) battery_interval=0-100 cpu_interval=0-40 cpu_nice_scale=1.5 delay_cycles=3 profile=lo_boost # need some power [Rule] name=lo_cpu_boost ac=off # (on/off) battery_interval=0-100 cpu_interval=30-80 profile=medium_boost # need big power (not if battery very low) [Rule] name=hi_cpu_boost ac=off # (on/off) battery_interval=50-100 cpu_interval=70-100 profile=medium_boost # full power when AC [Rule] name=AC_on ac=on # (on/off) profile=hi_boost # full power when watching DVDs and not AC: # this is the last rule and takes less # precedence with respect to the others [Rule] name=dvd_watching ac=off # (on/off) battery_interval=0-100 programs=xine,mplayer,avidemux cpu_interval=0-100 profile=hi_boost .... -Hanspeter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
