I'm not sure how to begin debugging this -- in Robert, i think it is because it was too warm in Cambridge last week; the GPS in the notebook thinks it is in britain and it is January, so it turns on the hidden x1.5 overclocking mode that CPU manufacturers have to perform well in benchmarks. This setting is not under control of ACPI, which indeed tries to cool down the CPU by turning the fan ON, and possibly throttling the clock (which however is faster than ACPI believes). ok just kidding :) luigi > particular, how to decide if it's because the notebook isn't cooling > properly (perhaps due to ACPI or hardware?) or if we're failing to turn it > back down against once it is cooled (perhaps also due to ACPI?). > Regardless, it actually has the effect of generating quite a bit more > noise, and using moderately more battery, so any pointers on where to > start looking for helpful. > > Thanks, > > Robert N M Watson > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-current_at_freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscribe_at_freebsd.org"Received on Sat Jan 22 2005 - 19:53:45 UTC
