This means you can't get configuration for speedstep on this processor via ACPI because something is broken into the bios. But since we have that: > CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1500MHz (1498.73-MHz 686-class CPU) > Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x695 Stepping = 5 ^^^ speedstep should work if you put: cpufreq_load="YES" into /boot/loader.conf and you don't need acpi_perf anyway. -- Bruno Ducrot -- Which is worse: ignorance or apathy? -- Don't know.
