Subject: [gentoo-laptop] Using speed step with a Pentium III.
Date: Mon, 18 May 2009 20:29:13
Message-Id: 20090518212900.66878c1b@test-main
1 I can not make speed step work with my Toshiba Protege 7200.
2 My laptop has a Pentium III (Coppermine) processor.
3 I'm sure it can use speedstep because I used throttling software under Windows.
4 My kernel version is 2.6.28-gentoo-r5.
