 |
|
Hi,
So I have cpufreqd running, I have it in performance mode, the whole thing appears to be running at the maximum speed of 1.87GHz, but I very obviously notice slowdown if only one thing is running much at once.
For example, even the animated smileys on the left look slower unless I have something compiling or keep the mouse moving constantly, at which point everything runs perfectly speedy and wonderful. I believe I have acceleration working with my ATI card, but perhaps something isn't configured right.
Does anyone know what could be causing this or how I would go about figuring it out?
It's pretty much the only thing that isn't working like a dream on my laptop with Gentoo.
-------
For anyone who encounters the same thing, it turns out this was caused by kernel 2.6.15r1 and was fixed by upgrading to 2.6.16r2

try
| Code: | cat /proc/cpuinfo[quote]
when idling and when compiling... see if there is a diff in Mhz
it sounds like your cpufreqd is scaling your cpu freq even though you have performance mode on..[/quote] |

Well, it says it is at maximum at all times, no matter what I appear to be doing. |
