OK, this seems very reasonable but could you please tell me how to *practically* achieve that? On my machine with powernowd, it runs at 800 MHz most of the time (when I type etc) and uses the full speed (2000 MHz) only when compiling, or for brief periods of time while rendering web pages and the like. I agree that the intermediate frequencies are not very useful. I'd be all in favor of running my processor at 0 MHz most of the time, the question is how? -- Ludovic Brenta. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
