what great idea! it works out of the box! just a little tunig of
cpufrqd.conf.
i can now use the two P-states of my p-IIIm (Inspiron 8100):
---
Jun 10 18:48:37 localhost kernel: cpufreq: CPU0 - ACPI performance
management activated.
Jun 10 18:48:37 localhost kernel: cpufreq: P0: 1000 MHz, 15800 mW, 500
uS
Jun 10 18:48:37 localhost kernel: cpufreq: *P1: 733 MHz, 12500 mW, 500
uS
---
and what's best: i have no "little system hangs when switching
frequencies" anymore!
thanks a lot, if you don't have any notes i forward this that the
debian-cpufreqd-bug can be closed.
cheers,
thomas
