Could you: 1. not use the centrino speedstep module and use the ACPI based one instead[1] 2. my partner has this laptop (well the T42p) and she has no problems. We did run into issues where occasionally no governor, even userspace, could change speed (same happened on my T40p) and that was linked to the BIOS forcing the laptop to a particular speed. Disable the cpu performance bits under your BIOS and see what happens[2] Cheers Alex [1] look at Myth 9 on page 9 of https://ols2006.108.redhat.com/2007/Reprints/brown_1-Reprint.pdf [2] http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Talk:How_to_make_use_of_Dynamic_Frequency_Scaling#CPUfreq_.22stuck.22 I am using the kernel acpi module I believe, and I didn't even know there was centrino speedstep module. I'll attach my kernel config if it'll help. I now have 2.6.22.5 (compiled myself & running on fedora7). The 'conservative' governor still doesn't work right. However I don't consider it a huge problem because the 'ondemand' governor works fine. (I do believe that conservative is slightly better with power consumption but I may just be imagining that.) Anyway, heres the dmesg with cpufreq.debug=7. I rebooted, the default 'ondemand' governor loaded. i started glxgears, it jumped to the full 1.7GHz. I switched to 'conservative' governor and ran glxgears and it stayed at 600MHz. >Time: acpi_pm clocksource has been installed.

My kernel config for 2.6.22.5
is this still a problem with the latest stable kernel? BTW, it is unclear (to me) why the conservative governor exists when ondemand works. Maybe the fix is to delete it... bug closed. please re-open it if the problem still exists in the latest upstream kernel. |
