Since it is somewhat related to ACPI, please open a bug in ACPI category on bugzilla.kernel.org. It is a great place to track this kind of issues. On 12/13/06, Peter Clifton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On Wed, 2006-12-13 at 02:54 -0500, Lincoln Baxter, III wrote: > Wow. You're completely right...

As far as i know, the humming appears in windows too. I tested it with the RMClock utility and on my laptop, switching to C4 was making the humming. But every other C-State was quite. You should tune the timing frquencies, like Pavel pointed out. But i'm curios, why on linux the C4-State does n

Update: Kernel 2.6.18-r4 I've done some more testing, and I've narrowed the problem down to the "processor" cpu driver. I disabled all power management features in the kernel, and compiled ACPI as modules so that they would not be loaded until I wanted them to be. APM is off. CPU Frequency S
