cpu scaling
Hi my laptop runs hot and my fan never stops. I want to load the cpufreq(4) driver to scale the frequency down when idle and up when needed. Unless I missed something from the man pages it kind of sounds like you can only change to one frequency at a time with just this driver. There is the powerd(8) utilty that is supposed to scale automatically. The adaptive mode appears to be the default mode with this.
So can I just set both these modules to load at boot time and expect something productive to happen? or does anyone have experience with these that can help otherwise. I have a dual core AMD Turion 64 if it matters any. Thanks EDIT: sorry i should mention i dont have my laptop with me right now so i can't test this out myself right now. im just looking for some quick advice on this. thanks.

Thanks bro.
I'm using 7.0 right now. I'll set my modules like yours with an adaptive mode when plugged in and minimum mode when on batteries. I haven't had any noticeable problems with ACPI enabled yet so hopefully this works. I will post back if somethings not working. Thanks again |
