Installed arch on my dell studio 1555, and experiencing heating problems. So much that it powers off unless I use a laptop cooler.
Following this:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CP … cy_Scaling
I loaded acpi-cpufreq, with
modprobe acpi-cpufreqno output, I assume it loaded fine.
lsmod | grep cpufreqShows :
acpi_cpufreq 5941 0
mperf 1275 1 acpi_cpufreq
processor 26144 1 acpi_cpufreqbut, cpufreq-info shows:
cpufrequtils 008: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004-2009
Report errors and bugs to cpufreq@vger.kernel.org, please.
analyzing CPU 0:
no or unknown cpufreq driver is active on this CPU
maximum transition latency: 4294.55 ms.
analyzing CPU 1:
no or unknown cpufreq driver is active on this CPU
maximum transition latency: 4294.55 ms.I loaded convervative and userspace modules too but no help.
What am I missing? I tried searching google, but could not solve.

By default the 3.2 arch kernel uses the ondemand governor.
With the same laptop the heat comes from the ATI video card when using the opensource drivers (70-80℃).

I agree that GPU could be responsible for overheating.
I am not using the opensource drivers. I am using catalyst 12.3 with kernel 3.3.2
Even if it is because of my ati card, I still want to be able to set up CPU scaling.

Hi, how are you, everyone!
I am suffering the same problem - my CPUs are always operating with the maximal frequency. After several failed trials, I came here for help and fortunately find this topic. Since ufizo encountered the problem last year, I think ufizo have already found the effective solutions, isn't it?
I have a notebook, dell inspiron 1545, with Celeron(R) Dual-Core CPU T3000 @ 1.80GHz, running latest ArchLinux version.
Every time I try to load the cpufreq kernel driver, following error occurs
[shaka@xi shaka]$ sudo modprobe acpi-cpufreq
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'acpi_cpufreq': No such deviceBut I found the driver modules in the directory

@ufizo, Could you pls. teach me your solution?
Much appreciated if anyone can give me any solutions or suggestions. Thanks again.

This CPU does not have frequency scaling. That's why it's called "Celeron" and not "Core".
See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celeron#Co … e_Celerons. To quote:
[...] but lack SpeedStep and Virtualization Technology.

Gusar, thank you very much for your kind and quick reply.
I have followed the wikipedia link you provided.
After reading the wikipedia, I think the quoted description "... but lack SpeedStep and Virtualization Technology." fits for "Merom-L" CPUs only, but not for "Penryn-3M". My CPU is Cereon T3000, and it should be classified as "Penryn-3M", isn't it? Moreover, I found the enable and disable switch of speedstep in the BIOS setup. I guess Cereon T3000 may support somewhat similar technology to realize frequency scaling, because the notebook works well in Windows OS.
Perhaps, my understanding is wrong, since I am not familiar with the difference among CPU types. Anyway, Thank you very much for your kind help.

It fits for all Core-based mobile Celerons. Another wikipedia article references this page: http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Celeron_D … 331ML.html <- no ESS (Enhanced SpeedStep) listed for the T3000. Also, this says "no" to SpeedStep too: http://ark.intel.com/products/37258 <- it's for the T3100, but that's the same CPU, just slightly higher clock.

Dear Gusar, thanks again for the information.
According to the link provided, T3000 does not support ESS indeed.
As for my notebook in Windows, I am not sure whether cpu frequency is scaled. But the temporature is lower and fan rotates less noisy than in Archlinux. Maybe it is my GPU driver that make temperature so high and fan so noisy.

Gusar, you indeed save me a lot of detours. Thank you very much for your great help:)

Yeah, it's known that the open source ati driver doesn't have good power management. There's a very simple profile based mechanism, search the wiki on how to handle it, and set the graphic card to the low power profile. Might help. The other option is you switch to the catalyst driver. You have a HD4000, which means you'll need to use the legacy driver, and that means downgrading X to 1.13. It's a mess. There's a catalyst-hd234k repository somewhere, it contains catalyst-legacy and xorg-server-1.13, search the forums for it.

Thank you very much for your kind help and suggestion. I will try to install the closed-source driver (e.g. catalyst-legacy and compatible xorg-server) instead. Thanks a lot.
