Subject: [gentoo-user] CPU speed scaling quirk (Intel; Dell i660)

1 I've cobbled together a script to select cpu governors and speeds.
2 One weird thing I've noticed is that reported cpu speed doesn't quite
3 match the selected speed. E.g. on my machine (yours will vary)...
4
5 cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies
6
7 ...shows avalable speeds...
8
9 3001000 3000000 2900000 2800000 2700000 2600000 2500000 2400000 2300000 2200000 2100000 2000000 1900000 1800000 1700000 1600000
10
11 ***IMPORTANT*** "userspace" governor must be present.
12
13 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq reports speeds
14 very close to, but slightly lower than the selected values, and they also
15 seem to jump around a bit. What gives?
