https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=780104 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=780104#c2 --- Comment #2 from C Rob 2012-09-12 22:45:15 UTC --- Well, since the kernel does not seem to do the right thing in certain use cases, perhaps it would be better to address that bug. But, does the above mean that suse is the only distro rolling around with this change applied? If that is the case, perhaps it would be possible to just reimpliment that specific gnome-applet for suse?? As for a use case where the kernel doesn't set the appropriate freq, one example is: User launches media player to watch movie, it uses 100% cpu @ the lowest freq and the freq jumps to the highest, it then stays at the highest freq for a few minutes and reverts back to the lowest. In reality it seems logical that it should stay at the highest freq, as when it goes back to the lowest it remains there for most of the time. My casual solution to that problem, since it causes movies to lag, is to use cpufreq-set from the cpufreq-utils package to set the governor. If the above is true perhaps cpufreq-utils should have also been disabled. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Pushing out a maintenance update sounds counter-productive... sorry :( I suggest to raise the remaining issues to the kernel, which is supposed to do "the right thing(tm)" -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
