(I can change it from 0 to 1 with the key). Hmm. That sounds like the BIOS and/or hardware only supports two states; what hardware? (I'm guessing one of the Celeron-based ones, since all three states are useable on my 901.)

It can, but I'd tie it to the current power source: if mains power is removed, slow down. (I have code which does this, but it requires editing of a conffile to alter the settings.) > Another question, is there a way to know how much power the eeepc is using, > the ACPI one returned by powertop is bogus.

I'm only aware of the ACPI method, and "wrong units" doesn't make it fake, just wrong. -- | Darren Salt | linux at youmustbejoking | nr.
