Almost everything works quite fine but when looking at /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/performance the fields which should indicate/display power consumption information are zero: cat /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/performance //state count: 2 //active state: P0 //states: // *P0: 1800 MHz, 0 mW, 250 uS // P1: 1200 MHz, 0 mW, 250 uS The CPU is an Intel P4-mobile, 1.8G The zeros shown are not specific to this version of acpi, the zeros are there since the first time I tried out the acpi-patch somewhen in autumn 2002, but I did not worry about them... Do these zeros have any effect or are they just for (user-) information?
