I recently installed 9.1-release on a sparc64 box.
One of the options in bsdinstall was to use the
cpu power control. I chose to use it. So I've got
# grep power /etc/rc.conf
powerd_enable=YES
#
which doesn't seem to work:
root: /etc/rc: WARNING: failed to start powerd
Is the following dmesg

Okay, now I am baffled.
Up until this point, I wasn't using powerd on this new Atom D510
system. I ran sysctl and noticed that dev.cpu.0.freq: is actually 1249
and doesn't change no matter what kind of load the system is under. If
I boot to BIOS, under BIOS CPU is shown as 1,66 Ghz. Okayy... I
snip all
I've been running powerd for a while. Been running it on an ASUS
B202. It brought my freq down to 100mhz when I checked on it.
Stopping powerd brought the freq up to 1600, and restarting powerd
brought it back to 100mhz eventually.
You might need to load an ACPI module for your system
OK, now I feel a bit stupid. The second half of my PR at
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=144551 (anything related to
powerd behaviour) can be ignored. For testing purposes, I started
powerd in the foreground and observed it's behaviour. It works exactly
as advertised and apparently

I also have the following

Frequency control is not supported in your case. You must
have dev.cpu.0.freq and so on. What kind of processor do
you have? Does it support powernow, cool'n'quiet or
similar features?

to get powerd to do anything useful with that CPU.
Also, make sure that you have device cpufreq
kernel configuration. If you don't have it, try to load
the module: kldload cpufreq
I have device cpufreq in the kernel conf and I loaded/unloaded it separately
AFAIK that processor does not support changing frequency or voltage on
the fly.
Your right, I also had one of those CPU. Only thig you can do is OC from
BIOS. I managed to OC it at a 566 MHz stable rate; also managed to have a
near 600 MHz (589 MHz) experience but was unstable as hell.
Hi,
I have just realised that my computer is making a ton of noise, and I
would like it to make less. I have the following in my rc.conf
powerd_enable=YES
powerd_flags=-a minimum
I have checked that cpufreq is loaded using kldload. When I run powerd
from the command line I get the following
Hi
Just installed FreeBSD 7 and get the following error. It doesn't make any
difference, but can someone add this CPU to the list of recognized CPU's?
Would be nice if powerd could use the adaptive mode correctly.

Hello guys,
I have problem with my laptop Acer Aspire 5102 WLMi which has AMD
Turion™ 64 X2 dual-core TL-50 1.6 GHz with 1.5 GB of ram.
I'm running i386 6.2-RC1 upgraded to 6.2-PRELEASE via RELENG6 tag
since I don't have more than 4 GB of ram.
I have these lines add to my custom generic kernel
Hi,
We have a dual Opteron server which supports the PowerNow technology and
that technology we want to use to save unneeded power. For that reason
we are trying to get powerd and cpufreq going, but we are running in a
lot of troubles when we ennable the powerd program. Under 5.4 RELEASE

Perhaps I should have said that differently
Hi
Is there a way to calculate (over eg. a 5 minute interval) the average amount
the cpu was throttled? In this case by powerd(8).
I was thinking there might be a counter/timer which is linked to the cpu clock,
but sofar I haven't been able to find one.
thanks

No, powerd currently reads the CPU usage periodically and adjusts the
clock speed based on the current CPU idle value. You can somewhat
