CPU frequency scaling (called "P-states" by ACPI) is a widespread technology. By loading a driver (e.g. acpi-cpufreq) and a governor (e.g. ondemand, performance), the kernel can manage CPUs' P-states. Last time I looked, the userspace utilities like cpufrequtils, powernowd and laptop-mode just provide a way to change governor when you (dis)connect AC. IMO they're useless as at Squeeze; the default governor (ondemand) is a reasonable choice for both battery and AC: it chooses the P-state that best meets the current system load. S.H.E. is an Asus-specific technology for under/overclock (of the FSB?). It is orthogonal to P-states, and is managed by eeepc-acpi-scripts using the eeepc-laptop driver. AFAIK, other packages ignore S.H.E. entirely. _______________________________________________ Debian-eeepc-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/debian-eeepc-devel
