[ltp] CPU Speed...

[Julien Tane]

Hello,

I sent a mail a week ago about kernel-module-thinkpad that I could not 
find. I did finally find one.

I needed the kernel-module-thinkpad because my computer was running at:
cpu MHz         : 239.027
instead of  890 MHz.

Unfortunately I have no idea, of the reason why. The computer starts at 
890MHz if it is on AC power and not on the docking station. If it is on 
AC power ANd on the docking station then it starts at 239.027.

I use the Fedora Core 1A, with some udpate packages
My kernel is: 2.4.22-1.2149.nptl

I use :
kernel-module-thinkpad-4.8-0_2.4.22_1.2149.nptl.rhfc1.dag

but perhaps  I should use:

> kernel-module-thinkpad-2.4.20-18.9-4.4-0.fdr.1.i686.rpm

but when I do

> [jta@aifbathena Download]$ su -c 'tpctl --pm-all'
> Password:
> tpctl: System error message is: No such device
> tpctl: Can't open device file /dev/thinkpad with flags O_RDONLY.  Exiting.

Something is probably wrong with tpctl.

> $ ll /dev/thinkpad
> crw-rw-r--    1 root     thinkpad  10, 170 Jan 22 13:35 /dev/thinkpad



It seems th/dev/thinkpad is not READ ONLY. but I must avow.  I do not 
know what this O_RDONLY
means. But if anyone is ready to give me a hint...
