First of all, |
2 |
|
3 |
Centrino CPU speed should be handled by a speed governor daemon (have |
4 |
a look at the ACPI guide at gentoo.org) |
5 |
|
6 |
Keep in mind that if you want to have battery for more time, it's |
7 |
normal that this daemon reduces the CPU if its not used, the same |
8 |
daemon will raise up the speed as soon as the current speed becames |
9 |
too low (compiling, i.e.) |
10 |
|
11 |
So, my recommendations: |
12 |
- Set up an speed governor |
13 |
- Get information about how Centrino platform works |
14 |
- Enjoy :) |
