 |
|
Hi!
I've just setup my kernel with the cpufreq-features.
Regulating the cpu-speed works nice, but scaling_cur_freq, /proc/cpuinfo and x86info -mhz give all other mhz-values!
eg:
governor performance:
| Code: |
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq
1066000
cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep mhz -i
model name: Intel(R) Pentium(R) III Mobile CPU 1066MHz
cpu MHz: 795.112
x86info -mhz
...
550MHz processor (estimate).
|
governor powersave:
| Code: |
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq
733000
cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep mhz -i
model name: Intel(R) Pentium(R) III Mobile CPU 1066MHz
cpu MHz: 546.733
x86info -mhz
...
350 MHz processor (estimate).
|
Which value is the right one?
kernel: development-sources-2.6.10-r1
chipset: ALI Trident
cpufreq-driver: acpi-cpufreq

What frequency is it running at from boot?
generally, scaling_cur_freq should be the most accurate.../proc/cpuinfo doesn't update "live"...and x86info, I don't know.
I suggest cpufrequtils (in portage), and run:
for some human readable generally correct frequency readings. |

Hi!
Thank you for reply!
cpufreq-info -m -f returns the value from scaling_cur_freq.

I don't know. The BIOS doesn't give any informations about that (just a big TOSHIBA screen  ).
But I found another BIOS option! It's called "battery save mode -> processing speed". I switched it from LOW to HIGH and now the files and x86info give the same value and the laptop runs faster than befor 
Thank you for helping!
