Created attachment 358045 [details] /etc/sysconfig/cpuspeed Description of problem: For a current "rawhide" install on a P4 Celeron system, the CPU clock runs at maximum speed all the time despite an entry GOVERNOR=ondemand in /etc/sysconfig/cpuspeed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cpuspeed-1.5-12.fc12.i686 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start GNOME session. Actual results: Frequency applet shows maximum CPU clock all the time. Expected results: Frequency applet shows variable CPU clock. Additional info: - $ service cpuspeed status Frequency scaling enabled using performance governor - Forcing governor ondemand through the CPU frequency applet has no effect. - Frequency scaling used to work for F11. - processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 15 model : 2 model name : Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.00GHz stepping : 9 cpu MHz : 2000.000 cache size : 128 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 2 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe up pebs bts cid xtpr bogomips : 3993.93 clflush size : 64 power management:
Nothing on the cpuspeed side has changed, this is a kernel change, and I believe intentional.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
