- I watch the CPU frequency with osdcat and had to learn that there is no SpeedStep scaling happening. Depending on powermanagement settings in the BIOS (performance, powersafe, disabled) the speed is fixed to either 700 or 850MHz, and the only dynamic I can see is, that when I suspend it with AC and wake it up without, the speed is 700 instead of the 850 and vice versa...
try adding POWERSAVE_CPUFREQD_MODULE="speedstep-smi" to the powersave configuration (where exactly depends on the powersave version), then reboot. If it still does not work (look in syslog for the messages logged when loading the cpufreq modules) add ----------------------8<------------------------- # # please add local extensions to this file # options speedstep-lib relaxed_check=1 ----------------------8<------------------------- to /etc/modprobe.conf.local, "depmod -a" and reboot again. Maybe this helps, it helps on my compaq armada e500 (p3 coppermine 650/800). BTW: you have another problem - your lines are excessively long. -- Stefan Seyfried
