If you could backport 2.5 cpufreq and add it to this patchset
I would start using it too. My biggest grab is the updated DRM,
but cpufreq would be a huge help as well.

Dominik did a speedy backport to current 2.4.
You can find them at http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/cpufreq/

There's patches there for mainline and -ac, so should apply
to whatever other patchset you choose to use, at worse there'll
be trivial-to-fix-up rejects.

This backport also contains Jeremy's Centrino-speedstep driver.

Yeah, looks like, or something that wasn't entirely merged. 
Commenting those out gets me further, but then it fails in:

Re: 2.4.21-rc8-laptop1 released

[Zsolt Babak]

Hi!

This has nothing to do with the laptop patch, these defines are really
missing from include/linux/pci_ids.h. 

In -rc5 I just removed the line from the .c file that referenced the
missing ID, and it works very well...  

Maybe this is a bug ;)

    Zod.

2.4.21-rc8-laptop1 released

[Hanno Böck]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1882 bytes --]

The second release of laptopkernel is out.
Get it at
https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/laptopkernel/


2.4.21-rc8-laptop1

Updated patches: swsusp, supermount, agpgart, drm, broadcom
New patches: acpi4asus, laptop_mode, sis-fb

Patch:  acpi-20030523 (www.sf.net/projects/acpi)
The ACPI in current kernels is very outdated. Most laptops won't have
any Powermanagement without the ACPI-Patch and some even won't boot.

Patch: swsusp-1.0_pre7 (www.sf.net/projects/swsusp)
Software Suspend makes hibernation possible in linux, which is a very
important feature for laptops.

Patch:  supermount-1.2.7 (http://supermount-ng.sf.net)
Supermount is a useful feature for desktop-pcs.

Patch:  agpgart from 2.4.21-rc7-ac1 (www.kernel.org)
Laptops with the Centrino chipset need this for working agpgart, which
is needed for hardware graphics acceleration (dri).

Patch:  drm modules from 2.4.21-rc7-ac1 (www.kernel.org)
This update is needed for proper working dri in XFree 4.3.

Patch:  radeonfb from Benjamin Herrenschmidt (rsync -avz
rsync.penguinppc.org::benh-devel/) Radeon 9000 won't work with radeonfb
found in the current kernel.

Patch:  bcm4400-2.0.2 + bcm5700-6.0.2 driver (from broadcom-ftp)
Needed for Broadcom Network cards found in many laptops.

Patch:  vivicam usb mass storage support (from Lycoris-Kernel)
Needed for Vivicam 355 (working as USB mass storage).

Patch:  acpi4asus-0.23 (www.sf.net/projects/acpi4asus)
Adds support for special acpi-events on asus-laptops.

Patch:  laptop_mode (www.sf.net/projects/swsusp)
Adds laptop_mode, which can save battery power.

Patch:  SiS framebuffer update (www.winischhofer.net)
Needed for some SiS-Cards.

Patch:  Optimization for pentium3/4 (trivial)
Makes gcc3-optimizations for pentium3/4 possible.
(Note: pentium4-optimizations should only be used with gcc 3.2.3 and
above. If you have an older gcc, please use pentium3.)
