Re: Fan control and CPU temperature etc
Did you compile your kernel with the /proc/cpufreq enable. I know it's
obsolete in 2.6, but I could not make cpufreqd use the sysfs interface
correctly.
Beware also that the version of cpufreqd in testing has a
missing fclose which makes it run for only 250 seconds. Upstream has
corrected it but it's not yet distributed. Below is the patch if you
want to recompile
--- ../cpufreqd-1.1.1/libsys_pmu.c 2004-01-04 22:29:29.000000000+0100
+++ libsys_pmu.c 2004-03-03 19:54:45.000000000 +0100

bat_max_charge = atof (val);
}
}
+ fclose(fp);
s->battery_percent = 100 * (bat_charge / bat_max_charge);
I not sure if you really need cpudynd. I don't know exactly what it is adding
to cpufreqd. But cpufreqd is definitely needed. When cpufreqd is working
you can see the influence of cpu scaling in /proc/cpuinfo.
