Some of the glitches you observe most likely come from not having th microcode patches installed. Hardware nowadays is not what it used to be :) You'd need for your ideapad: amd64-microcode firmware-amd-graphics firmware-iwlwifi (most likely) Otherwise you should be good to go. If you want to get long battery runtimes then you can use this small program: --8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<-- #!/bin/bash #chown nik /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy*/scaling_max_freq if [ -z "$1" ]; then cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy*/scaling_max_freq elif [ "slow" = "$1" ]; then for i in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy*; do echo $(( $(cat $i/cpuinfo_min_freq) * 3)) > $i/scaling_max_freq done elif [ "fast" = "$1" ]; then for i in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy*; do cat $i/cpuinfo_max_freq > $i/scaling_max_freq done else echo "$(basename ""$0"") : print current freqency" echo "$(basename ""$0"") [slow|fast] : set freqency" fi --8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<-- Note, you need to call it with a delay of ~ 10 secs from TDE autostart - otherwise the powermanager will backstab you :) Nik > > Bill > ____________________________________________________ > tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ... ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
