Thanks for that reply! :-) On 1/7/08, Alexandre Sunny Kovalenko <gaijin.k@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > First -- the disclaimer -- mine is X60 (not X60s), but with 1.83GHz > 32-bit CPU, so it should be somewhat similar to yours.

I guess the two should be rather similar. May I ask what you mean with "aluminum passive cooler pad"? Is that located underneath your UltraBase? If yes, does it help?

That is not the case with mine because of the lack of a XP partition. Do you have any idea whether these FreeDOS BIOS-flash mechanisms are working? -- I run powerd: > powerd_enable="YES" Yes. powerd_flags="-a adaptive -b adaptive -i 75 -r 65" The later one (-i 75 -r 65) I've added now. -- I set hw.pci.do_power_nodriver="3" in /boot/loader.conf Done that too. -- I run GNOME (please, no religious wars here) No religious wars needed, I hope. ;-) -- I set low CPU state to C2 in rc.conf > performance_cx_lowest="C2" # Online CPU idle state > economy_cx_lowest="C2" # Offline CPU idle state Done. Concerning the later cpufreq discussion: done that too. So far so good. The cpufreq module gives module_register: module pci/ichss_pci already exists!

I find it remarkable that it apparently suddenly goes some almost 40 (!) degrees up. So what is left now is a BIOS update, or? Does http://taint.org/2007/04/23/153737a.html sound doable for anyone? Any other ideas? Thanks, Johannes
