My problem is described here: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Problem_with_CPU_frequency_scaling
The issue was running with 65W adapter and no battery. However, the laptop happily worked that way at full speed for a long time until the kernel version when that "protection measure" was added, and it worked fine all the time afterwards, first by using the old kernel, and then by using that kernel option. So I guess in this case the kernel protected me from nothing really; I suppose every other R6x/T6x/X6x Thinkpad with that problem can work that way with no ill effects. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/706089 Title: Frequency scaling doesn't work in current kernels To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/706089/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
