    ACPI CPU frequency scaling

    OK, kern,bubo you may remember that i was going to do ACPI. Well, I compiled the 2.6.13.2 kernel yesterday and it works with ACPI. however I can't figure out where to find the script that lowers the CPU frequency when the system is not under load. I know it (the kernel) supports it

    Code:
    powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Athlon 64 / Opteron processors (version 1.50.3)
powernow-k8:    0 : fid 0x2 (1000 MHz), vid 0x12 (1100 mV)
powernow-k8:    1 : fid 0xa (1800 MHz), vid 0xe (1200 mV)
powernow-k8:    2 : fid 0xc (2000 MHz), vid 0xa (1300 mV)
powernow-k8:    3 : fid 0xe (2200 MHz), vid 0x6 (1400 mV)
powernow-k8:    4 : fid 0x10 (2400 MHz), vid 0x2 (1500 mV)
cpu_init done, current fid 0x10, vid 0x2
    That is the bootup information of supported frequency scaling.
    maybe there is a script to scale the frequency?Any ideas

    well it depends on what scaling governor is selected.

    u can select one by echoing name of governor to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

    i have following lined in my /etc/rc.d/rc.local
    Code:
    echo Setting AMD Cool'n'Quiet....
echo 'ondemand' > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
    and of course u need to have Cool'n'Quiet enabled in BIOS

    I got CPU frequency scaling working last night but this morning when i started up the computer it is bak to userspace. I dont think Slackware 10.1 has any userspace programs for that and i was wondering if i have to insert any modules

    that is true, Slackware does not have any userspace programs for frequency scaling, so if u want to change it from 'userspace' u need to put those lines i worte before.

    Also make sure u loaded other scaling governors, best thing to do is to include them in kernel, so no modules.

    And u can always download som userspace program to control it for you!
