Hi All,
I would really like to get powernow working on my PC - so I can sleep soundly
at night! :)
I realise this is the laptop mailing list, but it also appears to be the home
of frstat and all things power management related, so I felt it best to try
here first :)
I've installed frkit, and here is where I'm at so far:
bash-3.00$ dmesg|grep powernow
Jan 8 01:48:21 angelous powernow: [ID 400001 kern.notice] NOTICE: _PSS table
found: \_PR_.CPU0._PSS
Jan 8 01:48:21 angelous powernow: [ID 906471 kern.notice] NOTICE: Valid _PSS
table found

bash-3.00$ prtdiag | grep AMD
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+ Socket 939
hmm..
I take it from this lot, that the frstat kernel module is correctly detecting
my CPU, but the the daemon isn't?
Any suggestions on where to from here? I'm using nevada 54, and frkit from 24
hours ago.
Thanks,
Jonathan
