Howdy! I'm in the midst of my first Gentoo install (stage 1, even). Boy,
that's a lot of work! But I really dig the optimization and package
management... so I'm looking forward to using it.
The laptop is compiling KDE right now. I noticed the processor is running
at 600MHz. Not cool. I want it full speed when plugged in.
I can't figure out how to change the processor speed. I looked in the
cpu-freq user guide (kernel sources), but what they described isn't showing
up.
Direct questions:
(1) Did I screw something up? Where's the interface described
in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/cpu-freq/user-guide.txt?
(2) Did I compile the kernel with the right processor info? I think I
picked Pentium 4 because I was under the impression that I have a "pentium
4 M" (if that even exists....)
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!
