Hello all

I have an dell inspiron 5150, 3Ghz. I have loaded p4_clockmod, and my
CPU frequency now changes with powernowd. It seems to work well.

`--> cat /proc/cpufreq
minimum CPU frequency - maximum CPU frequency - policy
CPU 0 383323 kHz ( 12 %) - 3066590 kHz (100 %) - userspace

`--> cat throttling
state count: 8
active state: T0
states:
*T0: 00%
T1: 12%
T2: 25%
T3: 37%
T4: 50%
T5: 62%
T6: 75%
T7: 87%

However, I am not seeing any battery life improvement.

Any ideas?

Thanks

fred
