RE: my Sager 4750 64-bit laptop with Suse 9.3 x86-64 I'm stuck at 800Mhz & want to run at 2400Mhz! cpuspeed and cpufrequtils are installed. cpuspeed in Suse 9.3 is renamed from cpufreq from earlier versions & I can't find very much info. .... If you've compiled ACPI, which you should, the CPU temperature is in /proc/acpi/thermal_zones/THRM/temperature. Just 'cat' it. CPU information is in /proc/cpuinfo. You can also compile all of the i2c modules, emerge the lm-sensors package, and get some information from the motherboard. I don't know much about this, but there are several sensors, none of which I've been able to get any useful information out of. On the other hand, I don't know what I'm looking for, so..."
What are 'i2c modules'? i2c-modules means kernel modules working for support of some basic features presented in any modern motherboard (I don't know exactly about laptop mobos) like I2C buses. This kernel modules are presented in any modern SuSE kernel.
What is 'emerge the lm-sensors package'? I don't know either! lm-sensors package is the package which allows you (using Health chips on your mobo) to measure temperatures in different points of your mobo, voltage vaues, fan speeds etc. lm-sensors contains (in particular) kernel modules and some utilities, and uses i2c-modules. lm-sensors also is presented in any SuSE distribution, and you should use sensors-detect utility to start lm_sensors configurations (see man for sensors, sensors-detect etc).

That's all the info I have on the subject. I have tried various combos of modules in yast, /etc/sysconfig-Editor in various places to no avail. Ergo, I turn to the community for help getting cpuspeed functional -- thus getting my laptop to run at 2400Mhz.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
