--- Comment #47 from Andreas Nordal
It seems that with "nolapic_timer" your processor always runs in C0 state. It's not clear to me whether powertop agrees or not. With "nolapic_timer":
PowerTOP version 1.13 (C) 2007 Intel Corporation Cn Avg residency P-states (frequencies) C0 (cpu running) ( 0,4%) polling 7,7ms (99,6%) C1 mwait 0,0ms ( 0,0%) C2 mwait 0,0ms ( 0,0%) C6 mwait 0,0ms ( 0,0%) Wakeups-from-idle per second : 129,2 interval: 10,0s no ACPI power usage estimate available ----- According to kio sysinfo, my 2.1 GHz processor clocks itself down to the idling frequency of 800 MHz, just as without "nolapic_timer". I asked Multicom today on email how to update BIOS. Sorry for not remembering correctly, but my laptop is a Multicom Compal JFL92+. -- 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.
