It return= s=20 once loaded it makes the CPU speed drop from 1.4GHz to 800MHz (666 when=20 throttled). If the kde info thingy is somewhat relyable at all that's for= =20 real - the bogomips drop as well. Returning to 1.4GHz seems impossible=20 without restarting (I've tried unloading the module). Somehow cpufreq get= s=20 the stupid idea that the CPU is scaleable between 500 and 600MHz which ha= s to=20 be the reason for those odd results. We are talking about a Mobile Athlon= XP=20 1600+ here, BTW (though it's reported by linux as a 1500+). If you ask me= =20 that's a serious problem. The odd thing, however, is that it didn't happe= n=20 with the same kernel version before. Maybe it depends on some intel code = to=20 work correct (I used to have the CPU in the kernel set to PIII, now it's=20 correctly at Athlon) or maybe it has something to do with the swsp patch = that=20 I *don't* have applied to my actual kernel. HELP! The same odd behavior(sp?) appears with clean 2.5.72 and 2.6.0-test1 kern= els. - --=20 emmel Official AGC feedback maniac "God is playing creatures - and we're the norns."
