Some more info - the laptop is Acer Travelmate 4001 VLMIwith Pentium (R) M
processor 1.50Ghz stepping 06.
Except info abourt source of power after all moves described above the
klaptopdaemon applet permit me to change the position throttling
in /proc/acpi/procesor/CPU0.
With this way I can put the throttling for 00%, 12%, 25%, 37%, 50%, 62%, 75%
and 87% which corespondent to T0 to T7 state.
Of course I can't be sure that anything is realy done for processor but I can
inform that using mechnism from Klaptopdaemon applet I can change the info
show in the file /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/throttling.
This mechanism didn't change the info in /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/performance
file.
May be this can help You. If any other info is neccesary I can try to deliver
it if You inform me what to do.
