IIRC, the default /etc/cpuspeed.conf sets the CPU to run at the lowest speed all the time when running on the battery, and also checks temperature. I'm not sure I see the point of checking the load to change the CPU speed, as many other things than CPU usage can make it increase (disk I/O and network I/O come to mind). Anyway, the way cpuspeed works with my Centrino laptop by default is fine for me : 600MHz, and it increases when I start compiling stuff, then goes down again when it finishes :-) Matthias -- Clean custom Red Hat Linux rpm packages : http://freshrpms.net/ Fedora Core release 2 (Tettnang) - Linux kernel 2.6.6-1.435 Load : 0.14 0.37 0.35
