Cool 'n Quiet
can anyone cofirm/deny that cool'n quiet only works in 64 bit mode,
under linux specifically. I have tried Centos 4.2 (Redhat Clone) and when I install the i386 version it does not throttle the CPU (cat /proc/cpuinfo shows the CPU always at maximum speed) however on the 64bit version the CPU slows down to 1ghz courtesy of the 'cpuspeed' daemon. This daemon does not even seem to exist on the i386 version. Cheers. Bards. |

Redhat includes the governors in 64 bit FC and RHEL but they don't in 32 bit. I always build my own kernels so I don't know if there is an RPM for the performance governors available or even simpler if it's just a matter of doing a modprobe. If you build your own kernel just build in the performance governors, # # CPU Frequency scaling # CONFIG_CPU_FREQ=y CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_TABLE=y CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEBUG=y CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_STAT=m CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_STAT_DETAILS=y # CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE is not set CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_USERSPACE=y CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_PERFORMANCE=y CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_POWERSAVE=y CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_USERSPACE=y CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_ONDEMAND=y CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_CONSERVATIVE=y |

The powersave daemon and a front end GUI config tool, kpowersave, are available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/powersave/ Note that it may be necessary to upgrade your dbus and hal rpms to get these two packages working. C & Q now works on my machine. Will start working on enabling temperature sensors and fan speed settings in the near future. |
