Did you know about the big kernel power regression? My system (laptop) is always under 100% load no matter what the frequency I'm on (BOINC).
Some stats (kernel 2.6.39.2) 2.17GHz -> >103°C (luckily BIOS is coming to rescue) 1.67GHz -> ~94°C 1.33GHz -> ~83°C 1.00GHz -> ~74°C Are you still going to say that frequency doesn't change heat that much? I'm not sure how can scale frequency accordingly to temperature (and that is the only thing I'm interested in) so I wrote program that is doing this for me. (dwibbling in /sys/devices/system/cpu/* ;) ) If you don't like something in Linux you can always change it, that is the beauty of it. But having the ability to change governor to powersave or performance just by changing simple configuration file is good thing. Having to compile new kernel just to change CPU governor is IMHO Very Bad Idea™. darkestkhan ------------------------------------------ Feel free to CC me. jid: darkestk...@gmail.com May The Source be with You. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
