Hello all i have a little problem with ondemand:
| Code: | HightTemplar ~ # lsmod | grep cpu
cpufreq_ondemand 7548 0
HightTemplar ~ # cpufreq-info
cpufrequtils 0.4: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004
Report errors and bugs to linux@brodo.de, please.
analyzing CPU 0:
driver: powermac
CPUs which need to switch frequency at the same time: 0
hardware limits: 750 MHz - 1.50 GHz
available frequency steps: 1.50 GHz, 750 MHz
available cpufreq governors: ondemand, userspace
current policy: frequency should be within 750 MHz and 1.50 GHz.
The governor "userspace" may decide which speed to use
within this range.
current CPU frequency is 1.50 GHz (asserted by call to hardware).
HightTemplar ~ # cpufreq-set -g ondemand
Error setting new values. Common errors:
- Do you have proper administration rights? (super-user?)
- Is the governor you requested available and modprobed?
- Trying to set an invalid policy?
- Trying to set a specific frequency, but userspace governor is not available,
for example because of hardware which cannot be set to a specific frequency
or because the userspace governor isn't loaded?
HightTemplar ~ # cd /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/
HightTemplar cpufreq # echo ondemand > scaling_governor
-su: echo: write error: Invalid argument
HightTemplar cpufreq # cd /usr/src/linux
HightTemplar linux # make menuconfig

On-demand does not work on 7xx/74xx processors because of the time required to switch speeds. The only really usable speed switching mode on PPC is userspace, along with powernowd, cpufreq, etc. You can use performance and powersave, but I'd recommend userspace as an On-demand replacement.
