Description of problem: I have Cpu Frequency Scaling monitor applet selected. Which when I login in gnome complains about Cpu Frequency Scaling unsupported, which is wrong , since it's working properly, moreover it's diplay gets stuck-up at the freq it found when starting itself. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-applets-2.14.0-1.fc5 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Select cpu freq scaling monitor applet from Add To Panel 2.Logout from gnome and login 3.Applet complainls about Cpu freq scaling not supported. It reads the freq at that particular point and does not update it Actual results: No updation of current cpu freq Expected results: It should show the current cpu freq Additional info: Concerned lsmod output: Module Size Used by i915 22465 1 drm 68181 2 i915 cpufreq_ondemand 10825 1 p4_clockmod 10181 0 lm85 32613 0 hwmon_vid 6593 1 lm85 hwmon 7237 1 lm85 i2c_isa 9153 0 ehci_hcd 33229 0 uhci_hcd 33233 0 sg 36317 0 i2c_i801 12365 0 i2c_core 24769 4 eeprom,lm85,i2c_isa,i2c_i801 hw_random 9817 0 ata_piix 13893 14 ------------------------------------------------------------- [root@fc5host ~]# ll /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/ total 0 -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4.0K Apr 8 11:19 affected_cpus -r-------- 1 root root 4.0K Apr 8 11:19 cpuinfo_cur_freq -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4.0K Apr 8 11:19 cpuinfo_max_freq -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4.0K Apr 8 11:19 cpuinfo_min_freq drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Apr 8 10:33 ondemand/ -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4.0K Apr 8 11:19 scaling_available_frequencies -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4.0K Apr 8 10:33 scaling_available_governors -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4.0K Apr 8 11:19 scaling_cur_freq -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4.0K Apr 8 11:19 scaling_driver -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 8 10:33 scaling_governor -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4.0K Apr 8 11:19 scaling_max_freq -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 8 10:33 scaling_min_freq ----------------------------------------------------------- [root@fc5host ~]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_governor ondemand ----------------------------------------------------------- [root@fc5host ~]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/affected_cpus 0 1 ----------------------------------------------------------- [root@fc5host ~]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq 600000 Applet shows 1.20GHz ----------------------------------------------------------- [root@fc5host ~]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq 2400000 ----------------------------------------------------------- [root@fc5host ~]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/cpuinfo_min_freq 300000 ----------------------------------------------------------- [root@fc5host ~]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies 300000 600000 900000 1200000 1500000 1800000 2100000 2400000 ----------------------------------------------------------- [root@fc5host ~]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors ondemand userspace performance ----------------------------------------------------------- [root@fc5host ~]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_driver p4-clockmod ----------------------------------------------------------- [root@fc5host ~]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq 2400000 ----------------------------------------------------------- [root@fc5host ~]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq 600000 -----------------------------------------------------------
are you still experiencing this problem?
As per http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/25/84 & http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/8/27/106 p4-clockmod is useless. So i have stopped using it. Also I am using F7 and have not configured cpuspeed since a long time.
