What you are talking about isn't really a bug but rather a wishlist feature. You are saying "please overclock my machine by default". While it could well be that this is safe in your experience, defaulting to the faster speed was never supported by the manufacturer (hence the reason why this is overclocking) so it it would be unwise for Ubuntu to override this (at least by default).
Another downside is that patches to support overclocking are not likely to ever make it into a stock kernel (overclocking is renown for causing frustrating, intermittent and difficult to debug issues - http://people.redhat.com/davej/hardware-problems.txt) so you I'd guess your best hope is for Ubuntu devs to patch in overclocking support for the 70x series from now on. If this feature does go in, whoever does it should ensure that it is only for the 70x series of EeePCs as other models default to higher clock speeds out of the box or have entirely different CPUs. I hope this helps. Punting from Ubuntu -> linux (as this is a kernel wishlist issue). ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: None => linux -- Incorrect CPU speed on 2G Surf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/320027 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
