Some of us have laptops with lousy heat control, and undervolting is a great help (not to mention, as Phillip said, that it helps prolong battery life). The only problem I've ever experienced from undervolting too much, by one voltage increment, is a system lockup resolved by rebooting and

If you are not willing to implement the sysfs interace, then there is little point in including this patch. The default tables are *extremely* conservative. There is virtually no gain as far as extended battery life or lower operating temperature when using those tables. -- FEATURE REQUEST:

First, thanks to Ben for getting this in. Second, Pausanias, I have to disagree. I at least have a badly broken BIOS and have been forced to patch the kernel myself to put in exactly the conservative tables you speak of in order to run my 1.6GHz chip at any speed higher than 600MHz. There is,

Is it only a problem when users overvolt their hardware or also when they undervolt the hardware (beside freezes of course!) ? If only overclocking is a real problem I think that it shouldn't be that hard to implement a limit based on the cpu default tables... For users with bad acpi tables the

Please note I only included the built-in tables portion of the phc patch. I do not want to support the sysfs twiddling. Based on the information I've seen, it can prove dangerous, and I'm not open to allowing our users to accidentally break their hardware. The cpufreq tables should suffice for

I'll consider this patch, but I can't guarantee it to get in. The reason being that it modifies stock code, and we are trying to avoid that where possible. The main question I have is if this patch is as useful as it claims (and it seems that it is), why isn't it merged with upstream kernel? As
