Hi all, I've got a new machine: LENOVO ThinkPad X230 i5 23252GG To replace my ol' trusty x61s.
Fresh install of Sid, with liquorix 4.9-3 (2017-01-07) x86_64 kernel (for RT audio work). Have also installed linrunner's TLP. My understanding is that the x230's Ivy Bridge processor should make use of intel_pstate for frequency scaling but I can't seem to load the kernel module at boot. TLP (and other sources) are telling me the system has acpi-cpufreq running the frequency scaling. Have tried adding 'intel_pstate=enable' to grub (+ update-grub), no change (liquorix should load intel_pstate by defualt anyway, according to the docs). Have blacklisted the acpi-cpufreq module (which leaves me without any scaling - unsurprisingly:). Installed & uninstalled cpufreqtools & sysfsutils - no change either way. And am now going round in (ever frustrating) circles with this. Any advice gratefully received, and hope I've provided enough info - please let me know if not. Regards to all, Julian
