Output of lsmod |grep -E 'cpufreq|powernow' is: acpi_cpufreq 5571 1 cpufreq_powersave 902 0 cpufreq_conservative 5162 0 cpufreq_userspace 1992 0 cpufreq_stats 2740 0 processor 29935 3 acpi_cpufreq Unfortunately I am very confused. I have googled a lot but found nothing that can help me. I also read the man pages but no luck. So, don't get me wrong. I am not lazy. If someone can post a detailed guide or write the steps I need to do I would be very grateful. I don't want to fry my laptop so that's why I am here asking for help. It's been 12 hours of uptime@ laptop and the fan is working like I would have a datacenter in my room. Thanks to all that tried to help me so far. Have a great day! amt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
