[Bug 221742] New: GNOME desktop doesn't care about CPU frequency scaling
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=221742 Summary: GNOME desktop doesn't care about CPU frequency scaling Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Beta 2 plus Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Mobile Devices AssignedTo: rodrigo@novell.com ReportedBy: hmacht@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de CC: jpr@novell.com, behlert@novell.com, seife@novell.com, dkukawka@suse.de Gnome power manager 2.16.2 doesn't handle CPU frequency scaling via the new HAL interfaces. As long as neither GNOME or KDE is running, the powersave daemon cares about it like changing the policy when the AC adapter is unplugged and the like. That's an important disadvantage regarding GNOME and laptops in the current state. The problem is that g-p-m 2.17.2 which includes this CPUFreq stuff is labeled as an unstable release. Rodrigo already created testpackages and I will test some more the next days. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

If so, I think we can safely punt this to 10.3 and just pick up the new gnome-power-manager then. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

But with g-p-m, the user cannot choose what is apropriate for him. And before g-p-m is started, powersaved decides the method depending on the system state (on battery / on ac power). Once logged into gnome, the user cannot change this anymore.
