Hi! I used to use freedos in the past but then I "upgraded" my laptop to one
that has a dedicated GPU, ATI Radeon Mobility X1600. Only now linux kernel
(2.6.35rc) has come to the state that I can boot my computer to a text shell
and keep it cool thanks to gpu power management in kernel. (And I used to
have to use an old distro like Debian Lenny to be able to use the
proprietary graphic driver for a legacy (=not supported anymore) card that
has the best power management)
I was wondering if the same could be implemented in Freedos kernel? You can
see the code at the linux side, not having to reinvent the whole wheel. So
far it is still Windows XP that keeps my computer coolest, keeping the CPU
and GPU frequencies and voltages at their lowest, but I'd like to use other
OS's as linux and Freedos without cooking my computer. Today's computers are
so powerful that at their lowest setting they have still more than enough
power to use a non-Windows OS.
I hope someone's still reading this list since the archives show certain
inactivity this year (I just joined).
Best regards,
Pekka Horttanainen aka piete
