Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: powernowd
Owning a Thinkpad X60 I decided to ditch WinXP for Ubuntu as soon as I
got the laptop but there's a very annoying bug in Ubuntu: I merely get
2h30 of battery life whereas WinXP is advertised to give up to 4h (and
indeed does) using the battery I have.
I noticed that the system was unable to change cpu frequency to anything below
1Ghz (on a Core Duo T2400 1.83 Ghz).
Isn't there some way to better control cpu frequency and lower it to get some
more battery life (and make the fan stop working ALL the time) ?
