Usually this requires some manual intervention to achieve. perhaps a watch -n 1 grep MHz /proc/cpuinfo

The CPU was properly scaling but this did not effect the fan speed. I wish I had documented what I did to solve this, I have a foggy recollection that it was related to the nvidia binary driver (oh the evil binary blob again). Probably googled for "Ubuntu 8.04 acpi fan speed". This was on two laptops, one Turion X2 and the other a Core2 Duo, both with an nVidia video adaptor, and the Turion with an nVIdia Chipset (on a barely related note, the Turion is the worst computer I have ever owned). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFJqTvdwRXgH3rKGfMRAuixAKCn26R1RW2iJFkNA2A86Brx9YeFTwCfYT8f tYEwxWCo2mgOBIhlob3iomg= =ibWI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ 64studio-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-devel
