Can you try to reproduce the bug by setting up cpufreq by hand: Set: CPUFREQ_ENABLED="no" in /etc/sysconfig/powersave/cpufreq
This does nothing in 10.2, the modules are loaded by the hal init script.
If you reboot (without AC to try whether the problem got workarounded), check that powernow-k8 module and cpufreq_ondemand modules were not loaded. Then load them: modprobe powernow-k8 modprobe cpufreq_ondemand and activate the ondemand governor: echo ondemand >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
Try the watch/monitor commands from above and play with AC (un)plug. Does it work now? If it works now, can you revert the sysconfig variable to: CPUFREQ_ENABLED="" again and change in /etc/sysconfig/powersave/scheme_powersave CONSIDER_NICE="yes" (I am not sure whether it's still this variable that is used for setting ignore_nice in 10.2, Seife or Holger may want to correct me here). Reboot and play again with AC (un)plug. If it now again works we probably have a nasty locking problem when writing to ignore_nice when using ondemand governor.
If setting up cpufreq manually does not work, I exect a BIOS problem, as I got confirms that switching up after unplugging AC works generally (but this was not a SUSE system and he used powernowd. We need to check whether setting the ignore_nice by powersaved is the problem).
Powersaved does nothing with cpufreq at all. It is all handled by HAL and the desktop applets. But there was a bug in HAL wrt. ignore_nice which has been fixed with an online update IIRC. So installing the HAL online update and testing again would be my first suggestion. -- 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.
