Description vikram goyal 2006-04-08 05:51:03 UTC
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:

Comment 1 Ray Strode [halfline] 2007-08-20 20:55:44 UTC
are you still experiencing this problem?

Comment 2 vikram goyal 2007-09-18 10:07:24 UTC
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.
