BTW, AFAIK PowerBooks can only run at two different speeds, 1 Ghz and 667 Mhz for the 1 Ghz models. Certainly looks that way here: > echo 667000:800000:performance > /proc/cpufreq > more /proc/cpufreq minimum CPU frequency - maximum CPU frequency - policy CPU 0 667000 kHz ( 66 %) - 800000 kHz ( 80 %) - performance > grep clock /proc/cpuinfo clock : 667MHz > echo 800000:800000:performance > /proc/cpufreq > grep clock /proc/cpuinfo clock : 1000MHz > more /proc/cpufreq minimum CPU frequency - maximum CPU frequency - policy CPU 0 800000 kHz ( 80 %) - 1000000 kHz (100 %) - performance > echo 800000:800000:powersave > /proc/cpufreq > more /proc/cpufreq ~/people.debian.org/public_html minimum CPU frequency - maximum CPU frequency - policy CPU 0 800000 kHz ( 80 %) - 1000000 kHz (100 %) - powersave > grep clock /proc/cpuinfo ~/people.debian.org/public_html clock : 1000MHz The fan's running most of the time here as well, but it's not too loud, and I prefer that to a fried machine. :) -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | Debian (powerpc), X and DRI developer Software libre enthusiast | http://svcs.affero.net/rm.php?r=daenzer
