hi,
I would like to cool my CPU in the same way CPUIdle does it under
windows : using the Hlt instruction when the CPU is idle. As far as I
know, it's possible to achieve this under linux with apm or acpi, but I
have never succeded.
I am running a Debian unstable, kernel 2.4.19-k7 (binary package) with
an Athlon XP 1700+ on a MSI K7T266 Pro2.
I first tried with apm, loading the module with the following options:
apm power_off=1 idle_threshold=90
This seems to work fine for the poweroff function, but that's all. I was
expecting to see a process "kapm_idle" running, but it never happened.
And looking at the sources of apm, I came across this:
Won't help you much with Athlons. Get lvcool from
http://people.debian.org/~blade/testing/.
Gruss/Regards,
Eduard.
