Hi,

just transitioned from my custom gentoo install to xbmclive. It works quite well so far, however, one issue bothers me:

My CPUfreq won't go down to 1600MHZ. My E6300 (PDualCore) has 3 states 1600 2200 and 2800. My XBMClive install remains at 2200 even when idle. Any config option i overlooked? cpufrequtils config is already set to "ondemand" governor. It switched to 1600 on my gentoo install, so it's not my hardware.

Would appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction. Thank you.

Figured it out myself: /etc/default/cpufrequtils contains a line called "minfreq". This is set to 1,8ghz by default. I set it to the lowest state supported by my cpu (1,6) and now it switches down to 1,6 .

Cpu is an Intel Q6600


Got min freq from doing

Code:

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies
2394000 1596000

And entered that into /etc/default/cpufrequtils

Code:

ENABLE="true"
GOVERNOR="ondemand"
MAX_SPEED="0"
MIN_SPEED="1596000"

(MIN_SPEED was default set to 1800000)

and the made a

Code:

/etc/init.d/cpufrequtils restart

to get it work


Thank you for your help
