scaling cpu frequency on new ibook 2.2?
Hi, as I was checking some files in the /cat dir for fun some days ago I saw the following lines in "/proc/cpufreq": $ cat /proc/cpufreq minimum CPU frequency - maximum CPU frequency - policy CPU 0 40 kHz ( 57 %) - 70 kHz (100 %) - performance Does this mean that my G3 700MHz CPU is always running in performance mode no matter what I'm doing? Is there any possibility to change this setting to a kind of "battery" instead of "performance policy"? Thanks, Florian Feigenbutz.

touchpad trouble on ibook 2.2
Hi everybody, after installing Debian on an iBook 2.2 and running it very fine for some months I now experience problems with my touchpad :( I'm not sure whether this is a software problem or a hardware problem but I wanted to ask here if some of you perhaps got similar problems(?). When using the iBook for around half an hour or longer my mouse starts to hang spontaniously. I can solve this hanging by either pressing a keyboard button or by pressing the touchpad a bit harder.. As the second solution does not seem very nice to me I mostly try the first one. Those problems do also appear when I often use the suspend mode instead of shutting down the system completely. In the last few days when I enjoyed this great weather outside it happened that I could not even get the mouse running when pressing any button :( So I booted into MacOS X but even there the mouse hang off after a few movements, I did not get it moving again.. What strikes me about the test with MacOS is the fact that the mouse problem was even worse than with Debian.. So I shut the system down, enjoyed the weather and started it again when it was completely cool again. Only booted into MacOS and it hang again! Just when I moved the mouse the first time on an icon and tried to click it.. The next day everything was fine again, now I'm writing this mail, running Debian and experiencing no problems with the touchpad again.. Can anybody tell me why? :) Really got no idea.. Could it be a hardware error? Why does this not appear more regularely? Florian Feigenbutz. By the way: I'm running 2.4.20-ben10 kernel on Debian unstable.
