Right, that's 1 (was not aware that existed :-P) And changing it to 0 solves the problem. Next question is: how and why does it get set? As userland has not changed (AFAIK), my first suspect remains the kernel. # grep . /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/ondemand/* /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/ignore_nice_load:1 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/powersave_bias:0 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/sampling_rate:80000 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/sampling_rate_max:40000000 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/sampling_rate_min:40000 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/up_threshold:90 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/ondemand/ignore_nice_load:1 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/ondemand/powersave_bias:0 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/ondemand/sampling_rate:80000 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/ondemand/sampling_rate_max:40000000 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/ondemand/sampling_rate_min:40000 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/ondemand/up_threshold:90 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
