How long have I been waiting for that ... =)

Tried it on my Dell Inspiron 8100 with BIOS A11.
root@caladan:/usr/src/speedstep-0.2# ./speedstep
EDI != 02020005,
please report this to <speedstep@plan9.de>, together with /proc/cpuinfo
(suppress this notice with -q)
However, a short test doing a timed "make bzImage" revealed the following
compile times:
battery optimized mode (800Mhz) 3 min 45 sec
performance mode (1200 Mhz) 2 min 41 sec
A single compile run was pre-issued to eliminate disk access effects and no
other load allowed during compiling.
It seems to work, but I get some strange side effects - the mouse does not
work correctly under XFree anymore; since nothing else was modified on the
system and it's a first-time effect after fiddling with speedstep, this seems
to be related.
Regards,
Frank
