Re: cpu scaling on Dell 5150

I've been trying powenowd for a few hours now, it does seem to work better (frequency does not change in a second, and I like the scaling approach better, as opposed to cpudyn's maximum or minimum thing). However, I still have not seen a reduction in temperature, which is the main reason I wanted

I found that using powernowd instead of cpufreq worked like a charm. I also found that gkrellm was not a good indicator of the processors current speed - you get much better results by just 'cat'ing the relevent file in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq Hope that helps some Pete signature.a

Hey everyone, If anyone's got cpu frequency scaling working with a P4 maybe you can tell me what I'm missing. The computer is a Dell Inspiron 5150 with a 3.06GHz Mobile Pentium 4, debian testing and 2.6.5 kernel. I seem to have everything in place, cpu frequency scaling compiled into the kernel,
