Re: has somebody managed to get cpufreqd to work in duke(2007.05)?

I have attempt several times to get it to work, but it fails.

Any error messages? It's working fine for me (used the wiki page to set it up: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SpeedStep)

And how can i se if it works correktly?

You can look at your current governor, current frequencies, available frequencies, scaling driver, etc... in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu{0,1,...}/cpufreq

I have an core duo e6400 cpu

Are you using the acpi_cpufreq module?

I used again: Setting up SpeedStep 

pacman -Sy cpudyn acpid
# /etc/rc.d/cpudyn start
# /etc/rc.d/acpid start

modprobe acpi_cpufreq
FATAL: Error inserting acpi_cpufreq (/lib/modules/2.6.21-ARCH/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.ko): No such device

cpufreq-info:

no or unknown cpufreq driver is active on this CPU
analyzing CPU 1:
  no or unknown cpufreq driver is active on this CPU

echo "ondemand" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor   no such device

Alternative Methods
cpufrequtils

/etc/rc.d/cpufreq start
wrong, unknown or unhandled CPU?

That error is because there is a mistake in the Wiki...
The correct module name is "acpi-cpufreq" and not "acpi_cpufreq" so, just change it and it should work...

Tanks i saw i to and believed that acpi_cpufreq  was right, så  i will change it to acpi-cpufreq.

check you motherboard manufacturer website for bios updates that fix acpi

i have the same problem with the asus commando and after making a couple of checks its apparent that the bios gives bad data

check http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Fix_Common_ACPI_Problems and see if you have a fix available at http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/view.php

Yes it looks like bios problem.
So  i am for now  satisfied with ,that my bios  only
takes care of freqvens scaling and not whit software.

(Intel E6400 ,Asus P5B-e plus)

Apparently true... My mistake, sorry...
Though I find it strange as cpudyn did not work before I change the name of the module in /etc/rc.conf... or is it totally unrelated ? If that's the case, then I'm wondering why did my cpudyn decide to work correctly now... strange really...
