 |

Hi!
Yesterday I've emerged dev-sources kernel and enabled SpeedStep for my Thinkpad T23 with Mobile Pentium III
How can I check if SpeedStep is working? |

i'm not sure if it will work but have you tried
it has the clock rate in there.

It shows 1200MHz (100%)
As far as I understand, SpeedStep should be kind of dynamic, I have no clue how to find out if it works or not. |

Hi JensZ!
I've already looked at this utility, but I think I have problems with ACPI. I have compiled it into kernel (dev-sources), but during boot I get
| Code: |
acpi tables contain no pci irq routing
|
I don't know if autospeedstep relies on ACPI, but cat /proc/cpuinfo always shows CPU at 100% |

Do you have entry's in /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/* and if so what
is printed if you da a echo /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/throttling,
it's also possible that you need a newer patch to make PIII working
i think i can remember some issues try http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/private/cpufreq/ |
