Hi again.

Fiddling around with the config of my new X30.

I've enabled speed stepping. Think I've got it all right in the
kernel. I'm using powernowd to control the frequency. Problem is I
never get below 798000 Hz, even when the processor is idling.

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/stats/time_in_state
1197000 152464
798000 1042210

Is this the best I can hope for? Does the processor of the X30 only
have two speed "stops", or can I get it to go slower than 798000 Hz.
