A eureka moment: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_make_use_of_Dynamic_Frequency_Scaling
Says: You may need to set your BIOS to "maximum performance" if you are using Linux to set the CPU speed. This is necessary to prevent odd behaviour (cpufreq 'freezing' at certain frequencies) with the T4x series. I did this and my machine has remained at 100% for half an hour (world record). I can't remember ever having fiddled with that setting but I set both battery and AC modes to "maximum performance". I'll test battery later... but if the maintainers want to close this I believe they can. I think its good enough that this workaround be documented in a searchable place. Hopefully the google gods will maintain this in their index... wcn -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/688622 Title: Cpu speed goes to lowest level and stays there on Thinkpad T61p -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
