I have an Acer TravelMate 630 with a 1.40GHz P4m. My problem is, that throttling does not seem to work. If I pass "7" to /proc/acpi/proces.../throttling the CPU temparature doesn't go down faster than usual. The throttling-state is accepted (since "cat throttling" showes a "*" in front of T7) but without any effect. I have to use the "acpi-cpufreq"-driver since "speedstep-smi" does not work for me. My distro is "Gentoo Linux" running with kernel 2.6.15-rc2. Additional infos about my notebook can be found here: http://www.fagotten.org/daniele/acer-tm630/ Thanks in advance, Patrick ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
