OK, now I feel a bit stupid. The second half of my PR at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=144551 (anything related to powerd behaviour) can be ignored. For testing purposes, I started powerd in the foreground and observed it's behaviour. It works exactly as advertised and apparently the very act of issuing a "sysctl -a | grep dev.cpu.0.freq" command uses up a high % of CPU time for a fraction of a second, resulting in confusing output, I was always getting the highest cpu frequency state as the output. Testing powerd in foreground however, shows correct behaviour, CPU is downclocked both before and after issuing that command :)
Still doesn't explain why the system boots up at 1249 Mhz, but that's not that big of an issue at this point now I see that powerd is behaving correctly. - Sincerely, Dan Naumov _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
