Hi, could you include the output of `cat /proc/cpuinfo`? CPU frequency scaling these days is done automatically by the kernel using the ondemand governor that just scales the speed based on CPU load. If that's all you want to do then you don't need cpufreqd. cpufreqd is more aimed at special needs when you need to use more inputs than just the cpu load to adjust the CPU speed (e.g. temperature, battery, other sensors). Looking at your configuration you're telling cpufreqd that as long as you're on mains power you want full high speed CPU. WHen configuring cpufreqd, running the deamon using a very verbose logging level (eg -V 7) will give you a lot of details about why cpufreqd applies one policy or the other. also, you are not describing what your hardware is :) Thanks! -- mattia :wq! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
