Hi,
I run my OpenBSD 4.1-stable firewallsystem on a System which is way
oversized for my needs.
I want this system to consume as little power as possible so I need
your advices. I started the
apmd with the option -C but the apm output is the following:
Battery state: unknown, 0% remaining, unknown life estimate
A/C adapter state: not known
Performance adjustment mode: cool running (2009 MHz)
So the CPU is still running at full speed! Here is my dmesg output
for the cpu:
cpu0 at mainbus0: apid 0 (boot processor)

Can I do something about this or is this simply not supported? Is
there anything more I can do to
reduce power consumption of my system?
Thanks in advance!
