[SOLVED] TLP Not enforcing specified CPU_SCALING_GOVERNOR

Hi all,

Trying to get TLP up and running on my laptop.  I have the config file set to use 'ondemand' scaling on both AC and Battery, although tlp-state still shows it's using 'powersave' scaling.  'powersave' makes my window movement kinda choppy and is less then ideal.  Was hoping someone could steer me in the right direction. 

tlp-stat output: http://pastebin.com/ecMZnK1e

tlp config: http://pastebin.com/5y4EaZNP

Thanks!

Hi,

according to your output you are running the intel_pstate driver. intel_pstate only knows governors "powersave" und "performance". So

CPU_SCALING_GOVERNOR_ON_AC=powersave
CPU_SCALING_GOVERNOR_ON_BAT=powersave

is what you really want.

Refer to the docs too: http://linrunner.de/en/tlp/docs/tlp-con … ml#scaling

Thank you!  Was not aware of that.  Changed AC mode to 'performance' and all is snappy again.  Thanks again!
