 |
|
Hi,
Just installed gentoo on my new acer aspire 1350......very happy so far 
When i try to start speedfreq though it just chucks out this:
| Code: | root@lappy mike # /etc/init.d/speedfreq start
* Starting speedfreq...
Usage: /usr/sbin/speedfreqd [-fqsuDPV] [-p policy]
-p P set policy to P
-u OK for users to set policy
-D print debug messages (implies -F)
-F stay in foreground (don't become daemon)
-P create a pid file /var/run/speedfreq.pid
-V version information
Available policies:
powersave maximise power savings
performance maximise performance
dynamic adjust speed according to CPU load (default)
NNN set CPU to a fixed speed of NNN MHz
|
Any ideas?

Hi,
try to change the line in /etc/init.d/speedfreq in the start() section :
| Code: |
/usr/sbin/speedfreqd -P -p ${SPEEDFREQ_SPEED} ${SPEEDFREQ_OPTS}
|
In my opinion the pid file must not be explicit specified.
Hope that will help...
