My Laptop CPU frequency scales even when plugged into AC power and I'd like to disable that feature.
How do I do that in OpenSUSE 11.1? The "Power Management" tool in "Control Center" only has options for the display and suspend settings, nothing for the CPU (It used to be there didn't it?).
The CPU frequency widget in the toolbar also does not have an option to disable scaling.
KPowerSave does indeed have a section for configuring the CPU frequence policy. Unless something is amiss along the way in detecting your hardware's capabilities and that section is incorrectly disabled, that's where you'd go. If it is disabled and you're sure your hardware has frequency scaling, then possibly something lower-level is messed up and KPowerSave doesn't think it can control CPU frequency.
I have one machine with CPU frequency policy control running 10.3 and KPowersave offers me the pertinent controls and one, running 11.1 that does not have such capability and there KPowersave doesn't offer me those controls.
Unless... Does a Pentium 4 have CPU frequency control?

Maybe KPowersave isn't working right for me, either? Should I have control over CPU frequency policy on this machine?

It does not work on my Compaq Presario Laptop either under 11.1 but did under 10.3 that uses an AMD Turion 64 bit CPU Yet another 11.1 bork if it was not for the fact that i am completely sick of redoing configs all the time i would go back to 10.3 and KDE 3.5.9 that just worked with no nonsense Pete. -- Opensuse 10.3 x86_64 (Linux is like a wigwam no Gates, no Windows, and an Apache inside.) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
