I have deliberately never installed anything from gnome or kde, and have rigourously checked every other package that might conceivably affect cpufreq. It may be a hardware interaction. I tried installing a new bios after this bug appeared, but that doesn't change any behaviour. I ended up installing a workaround in battery.d: ( ( sleep 20 ; laptop_mode force auto ) >> /tmp/powerchange.txt 2>&1 & ) The long sleep seems to be necessary, since something is not only causing a jump to 800Mhz as soon as the power is unplugged, but something causes it to jump to 800MHz 10 seconds afterwards too. So 10 seconds after that, I force laptop_mode to apply its policy again (it having already applied it 20 seconds earlier, if I didn't say "force", then it would just exit immediately, thinking the policy is still currently applied), which is the "conservative" governor, and the full 800-2201Mhz speed range. I tried strace -f on the acpid process, but nothing enlightening in the gobs of logs. Still, I'm pretty sure this didn't happen in the past, and I hadn't done an upgrade of the bios until after this all started happening. -- TimC The only thing more dangerous than a hardware guy with a code patch is a programmer with a soldering iron. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
