The cpufreq developers disagree on that. And I strongly disagree on that. On my notebook, 1000MHz is a lot faster that 800MHz, because it makes the memory clock and access-time much faster. It's not just the CPU that scales up. But anyone should understand that conservative is still better that

David I share your view, but there seems to be much new information showing it other wise. I'll try to measure my power drain and battery duration to see if I can get a better view on this subject. -- kde-guidance-powermanager: support conservative CPUFreq gouvernor

The most important point of this bugreport was to get conservative support into guidance-power-manager, not necessarily as the preferred- over-ondemand one. But without ondemand, conservative should be the alternative, not powersave as that is not a dynamic cpufreq policy at all. --

I was hesitating a bit, but apparently this bug has been fixed, conservative is now considered a dynamic cpufreq policy. ** Changed in: guidance-power-manager (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid = Fix Released -- kde-guidance-powermanager: support conservative CPUFreq gouvernor

I would agree that David's proposal is fine, so we would only redefine the meaning of Dynamic to try the following modes (in this order): - on AC: ondemand, conservative, userspace - on battery: conservative, ondemand, userspace I can work on this patch for Feisty+1 (probably in next day or

Hi David, First, thanks for the patch. There are some tab/space issues in there, this *might* work, but it's broken -- don't mix space with tabs in python scripts. As to the actual functionality: I'm inclined to not merge it. Powermanager should be kept simple, we decided (together with

Hi Sebas, Odd, kate shows no spaces/tabs inconsistencies at all... As a python hacker I know how important this is. Maybe a upload/download bug? (The only thing I can find is some trailing spaces on the original and existing trivial inconsistencies... ;-) ) Anyway, I agree Powermanager should

FYI, conservative is a dynamic governor optimized for battery usage. ondemand is a dynamic governor optimized for AC usage... IMHO, it's no loss using conservative on AC power. On battery, when using ondemand instead of conservative on my laptop, it costs me at least half an hour of battery time!

Hi David, The lines starting with action use tabs (but as you state, there is some inconsistency in the released code as well (it's fixed in SVN already, that's also why I double-checked). I do not understand your rationale, however. For example: - Why should we use 'userspace' at all (there is

- We seem to be using userspace at the moment as a fallback for ondemand (see powermanage.py). Removing this is out of the scope of this bug/feature-request. - powersave is not a dynamic governor, it is plain the slowest frequency possible. (In contrary to Performance, which is plain the fastest
