[dwm] [OT] frequency scaling and power consumption
BIOS support choosing a smaller multipliers to reduce cpu frequency. linux also supports frequency scaling such powernowd. Some google page said cpu throttling can not reduce power consumption. My experience is that it seems to lower temperature. If it can also reduce power consumption, I'm willing to save money by running cpu at half of its current frequency. Any idea. -- regards, GPG key 1024D/4434BAB3 2008-08-24 gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 4434BAB3 唐詩094 杜審言 和晉陵路丞早春遊望 獨有宦遊人 偏驚物候新 雲霞出海曙 梅柳渡江春 淑氣催黃鳥 晴光轉綠蘋 忽聞歌古調 歸思欲霑巾
Re: [dwm] [OT] frequency scaling and power consumption
Personally I have noticed that locking my laptops scaling CPU to the lowest frequency does give quite a noticeable improvement to the battery life, around an extra hour on top of the usual 4~ hours and reduces the temperature enough to make the fan shut off . Just enabling on-demand scaling didn't help much as it would scale up to full frequency far to often. Even with the CPU locked in lo frequency mode it almost never lags. Thanks all for confirmation. Since I only have a desktop, no notebook/netbook ;-( it is somehow difficult to verify the improvement. I now lock the cpu frequency to 1.1GHZ (half of the original 2.1G). Less heat means less power consumption, I guess someone suggested, (I'm not sure that's why I asked for advise), that it takes more time to complete the job at lower frequency so that actual power consumption will in some case increase. -- regards, GPG key 1024D/4434BAB3 2008-08-24 gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 4434BAB3 唐詩187 杜甫 登樓 花近高樓傷客心 萬方多難此登臨 錦江春色來天地 玉壘浮雲變古今 北極朝庭終不改 西山寇盜莫相侵 可憐後主還祠廟 日暮聊為梁父吟

you can use pmount.

Mount points will be created and removed automatically under /media

The other font is arphic ukai, but it is not bitmap font, and therefore broken. WenQuanYi Bitmap Song is a nice bitmap font and covers many encodings, but I can use it for no obvious reason. It seems to me that pango's powerfulness comes with almost no cost. For programmers, there is little difference, or at least it generally will not increase SLOC. For users, they just need to set the font to something like Sans-10 or Monosapce-10. It is much simpler than setting X fonts. Besides, fontconfig is powerful. User can set spacing, priority, antialias, hinting, and a lot more properties of fonts, which is necessary for certain fonts. Can you give examples, eg url where its title failed to displayed properly using firefox? I use debian and previosly ubuntu and found no problems. Not sure why correlate bitmap font to broken or not? What do you mean by broken? Can you give some screen shoot.

I found 2 further issues 1. on my ubuntu, $TERM is xterm (actually it is 256 color), but dvtm cannot detect it and makes it a 8 (or 16?) color rxvt. You probably need to set TERM to xterm-256color. If 'infocmp xterm' says you have 8 colors, ncurses and dvtm will think your terminal only supports 8 colors. If you don't have the proper terminfo files, then be prepared for some fun with 'infocmp' and 'tic'. After install terminfo for xterm-256color, echo $TERM inside xterm now gives xterm-256color, but after enter dvtm, echo $TERM now gives rxvt-256color, why not xterm-256color?. Moreover colors are displayed incorrectly. This is worse than using the previous xterm setting. 2. if start dvtm from dmenu typing xterm -e dvtm there is always an extra ^Z placed in ttyin so that when I start to type any character, the ^Z appear and I have to delete it, However if I start dvtm from xterm, it is OK.

Re: [dwm] [dclip] dmenu-based clipboard manager
On further testing, it appeared that the xclip itself cannot handle
utf8. On replacing xclip with xsel, it now works without problem. What
problem did you encounter in using xsel?
I prefer \034 to \266 as delimiter, since the later is a 2 byte
sequence in utf8 encoding. I'm not sure if tr can handle that. Why
choose \034? Because awk uses it.
on ubuntu, sh is not bash; it is the old sh.
#! /bin/bash
