My problem is the following: when the `ondemand' governor is active, the processor clock never scales up, it always stays at 800Mhz. The situation changes when using the `conservative' or the `performance' governors. More curiously, if I set `conservative'/`performance' as the governor for at least one core, the CPU will scale. I am on the 3.6.6-trunk-amd64 kernel from experimental because the intel video driver 3.2 causes random freezes. To test if the scaling occurs I run `stress -c 4'. Things I have tried: * Enabling/disabling `cpufreqd', `laptop-mode', and `acpid'. I currently run `laptop-mode'. * The 3.2 kernel in testing * Enabling/disabling the `xfce4-power-manager', which I use to manage suspends/hibernate. There are some kind-of relevant BIOS options and I will try with those soon but I doubt that's the issue. Does anybody have any idea on how to troubleshoot such a problem? I suspect that the problem is either in the kernel or in some other software which is regulating the scaling. <<<<< At a guess, I would assume a configuration problem. Or no problem. Is your machine sluggish or unresponsive? How do you know it stays at 800 MHz? What tool do you use to monitor it? Maybe your monitor is wrong. I am not sure how to troubleshoot this, but if you don't need the governor, turn it off or use the 'performance' one. If you solve the problem, let us know the solution, it may be useful to others.
