cpufreq ignores ignore_nice_load switch

Hello everyone,

I set up frequency scaling for my Pentium M as described on the wiki (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CPU … cy_Scaling) and it mostly works. However, I'd like the ondemand governor to ignore nice'd processes, i.e. processes with a priority larger than 1. There is a switch for that in sysfs, and something like

echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/ignore_nice_load

should toggle it. Unfortunately, my installation ignores it. Does anyone know more about this behaviour?

Many thanks

  Jürgen

Thank you sooo much! This was just the right hint to make my CPU scale correctly under stress.
Thanky a million times
