CPU Frequency Scaling

2008-03-09 Thread Marcel Cuculici
Hello everyone! My system hardware is Asus P5B with Intel Core Duo 2 e6600.
I installed on it freeBSD 7.0 Release yesterday, but I don`t understand
something. In Gnome there is CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor Witch it`s set to
Performance, and the Cpu freq. is 2.39 Ghz, I can change it MANUALLY to
other freq as can bee see it in the link`s above, but can not set to Economy
:|

 In bios I have Intel Speed Step Enabled, and Cpu Freq set to AUTO.

 However, in Windows XP, my power scheme is set to Minimal Power Management
And the cpu freq stay at 1.58-1.60, and when computer need more cpu power
it  AUTOMATICALY jump`s to 2.40 Ghz.
 The same thing happen`s in Ubuntu linux 7.10 and Debian Etch, the Cpu stay
at ~1.60 Ghz and it jump`s auto when more Cpu resources is needed.

 I don`t undersntand why in linux and windows the cpu is automatically
controlled by operating system and in freeBSD I need to set it manually. How
can be this changed for freeBSD, to act as windows/linux at cpu freq scaling
chapter?



Thank`s in advance, and have a nice day! :)

2007-09-28 Thread Marcel Cuculici
Hello everyone, i`m courious why it has been choosed *Fedora core 4* as an
defalut linux compatibility, and not *Fedora 7* *or 6* in the first place,
and in the second why fc and not or another distro as *Arch*, *Debian*,
Ubuntu, openSUSE, Mandriva,*Gentoo* etc.

  AUTHOR: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

  X.org ports were updated to 7.3.  Since we're now using the modular
  build, the upgrade is pretty much painless.  If you're using the
  x11/xorg meta-port, upgrade should be as easy as:

  # portupgrade -R xorg

  Users of nvidia-driver will have to make sure Composite extension is
  turned off and start Xorg with the following command:

  $ startx -- -ignoreABI

  The -ignoreABI option is a Xorg option. If you're using gdm, kdm or
  xdm, you will have to modify your configuration file so that Xorg
