Hello all. I am new to this list, but not to FreeBSD :) I installed 6.1-RC1 on my Gericom Webgine XL with Athlon XP-M 1400 processor. (800-1200 MHz) It runs great, just one thing is bothering me. Powerd is running, but when it comes to maximum frequency speed it stays there. The example of powerd -v is here: # powerd -v idle time < 65%, increasing clock speed from 798 MHz to 931 MHz idle time > 90%, decreasing clock speed from 1064 MHz to 997 MHz idle time > 90%, decreasing clock speed from 931 MHz to 864 MHz idle time < 65%, increasing clock speed from 931 MHz to 1064 MHz idle time > 90%, decreasing clock speed from 1197 MHz to 1197 MHz idle time > 90%, decreasing clock speed from 1197 MHz to 1197 MHz idle time > 90%, decreasing clock speed from 1197 MHz to 1197 MHz idle time > 90%, decreasing clock speed from 1197 MHz to 1197 MHz . . . So, it looks that powerd can increase and decrease CPU speed until it reaches maximum. If I manualy change frequency with sysctl, frequency can go down again. sysctl dev.cpu.0.freq=800 dev.cpu.0.freq: 1197 -> 798 I do not know what is wrong here so any help would be great. Thanks.
