sounds like speed step. it's a feature in mobile processors that keeps the cpu underclocked when the system is idle or not under a small load.

To make the processor run at full speed (and waste the battery ;)) then you will need to use the klaptop applet in the panel, and change CPU throttling to 00% slowdown.
This is what works on my Thinkpad T22 |
* Proccessor Throttling
Check an see what the following says: cat /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/throttling cat /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/info This commands changes speed step cpu setting. 0 is top speed. echo -n 5 > /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/throttling Brian1 " Google the Linux way @ http://www.google.com/linux " |
That is exactly what I am trying to do now! :)
I am running an HP-Compaq nx9005 (Mobile Athlon 2400+), I had been using powersaved but a few days ago I decided to reinstall Slack. A few problems with that: 1) Powersave doesn't compile. It gives an error related to some cpufreq-thing, although I have everything needed in the kernel.. 2) acpid doesn't start. It says: Code:
acpid: can't open /proc/acpi/event: Device or resource busy Opening a new topic seemed unnecessary. |
