That's strange, it has always worked for me :-/ ** Description changed:
By default I can't change the cpu frequency when my system is just booted. It's stuck to 800MHz My supported frequencies are 800MHz, 1,6GHz, 1,8GHz and 2,0GHz. I use the applet for gnome-panel and I can click 1,6, 1,8 and 2,0 but it never changes, it continues stuck at 800MHz. Workaround: + *WARNING!! Use it at your own risk* Read comments from gali98 I have found a solution to make it work. If I open a terminal and type (as root obviously): modprobe -r cpufreq_stats; modprobe acpi_cpufreq; modprobe cpufreq_stats; I get: FATAL: Error inserting acpi_cpufreq (/lib/modules/2.6.27-3-generic/kernel/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.ko): Device or resource busy acpi_cpufreq is not loaded, but CPU SCALING WORKS!! This is quite wierd. To make it weirder: if my laptop is connected to the current, cpu scaling works without any workaround but if I disconnect it, cpu scaling doesn't work. Everytime that my system is rebooted I have to do it to get cpu scaling working with batteries. System: Ubuntu 8.10 fully updated (18 sept) Laptop is HP Pavilion tx2000 model (some other users have reported this issue in ubuntuforums too). logs.tar.gz includes: uname -a version_signature dmesg lspci -vvnn dmidecode /proc/acpi ** Description changed: By default I can't change the cpu frequency when my system is just booted.
