Thanks for you replies. So is there any plan of expanding the support for power management of theses families of processors in open solaris? This is an Intel Celeron processor. I just booted up a Linux (Mandriva 2008) on the same laptop and indeed it shows the range between 112MHz and 900MHz supported in speedstep and in kpowersave while running a test case I could see how it dynamically switches frequency based on load. I suppose just the capability of manually setting it in ether 112 MHz (Low power) or 900 MHz (performance) would be enough for most cases. Regards, /KarlD -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
