Description of problem: on my centrino laptop neither cpufreq-utils nor cpuspeed packages are installed, so the laptop always runs at highest speed Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: install fc4test2 on a laptop an watch cpuspeed Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Confirmed. No package depends on cpuspeed and it's not listed in comps.xml. (In FC3, cpuspeed was part of the kernel-utils package which was in the base group)
I had to pull in cpufreq-utils and cpuspeed using an FC3 to FC4 test installation. The computer starts at full frequency and did not scale. I could change frequencies via the applet to a lower frquency.
I'm not sure if this is related to the problem here, but there is also no cpuspeed module in Fedora CVS (even though a separate SRPM exists in rawhide).
The CVS problem is one of those stupid things that just needs a bit of attention. As far as fixing comps, this is done and the change should be included in test3. Thanks for pointing this out!
