CPU speed/freq

2005-06-14 Thread antonio giulio
Hi,

is there a program for amd64 processor, to control its frequecny/speed
(and change it) and temperature? I have tried any packages on
repository but they seem not working (cpudyn, emifreq, cpufreqd).

Thanks
Giulio

I believe powernowd is one that works for the frequency.  For
temperature, you need something that works for your mainboards
diagnostic chip (assuming it has one).

powernowd returns:

PowerNowd encountered and error and could not start.
Please make sure that:
 - You are running a v2.6.7 kernel or later
 - That you have sysfs mounted /sys
 - That you have the core cpufreq and cpufreq-userspace
   modules loaded into your kernel
 - That you have the cpufreq driver for your cpu loaded,
   and that it works. (check dmesg for errors)
If all of the above are true, and you still have problems,
please email the author: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq seems not existing in my system.
However I have not idea to make working powernowd.

Have you installed the module powernow-k8.ko?

When I do cpufreq-info on my computer it responds with

cpufrequtils 0.3: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004
Report errors and bugs to [EMAIL PROTECTED], please.
analyzing CPU 0:
  driver: powernow-k8
  CPUs which need to switch frequency at the same time: 0
  hardware limits: 800 MHz - 1.60 GHz
  available frequency steps: 800 MHz, 1.60 GHz
  available cpufreq governors: userspace, powersave, performance
  current policy: frequency should be within 800 MHz and 1.60 GHz.
  The governor powersave may decide which speed to use
  within this range.
  current CPU frequency is 800 MHz.

and the directory /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ exists on my
computer.
Perhaps you could purge the packet powernowd and reinstall it I think I
did that once but else I am out of ideas.
   Hope it helps

I have removed module powernow-k8 and re-loaded. Now it works:)

cpufreq-info works and return optional frequency configuration.

cpufreq-set (from root) returns errors. I have read man-pages, but it doesn't 
work.

Can you show me a correct use for cpufreq? What is exactly 'governor'???

Thanks
Giulio

Does this work now? For many months, ondemand was a guaranteed OOPS within 
a matter of hours (if not minutes); I've been using cpufreq-userspace and 
the associated daemon.

BTW, kernel 2.6.12 is going to bring an even better governor for amd64 and
laptops (and mine is both), named conservative.

Been using ondemand for months now (since 2.6.10 IIRC). No oopses related to 
it. And haven't had to keep an eye on any daemon anymore :)

Great news. I'll have to try it out.  :)
