11.4 on eee 701 - cpu frequency and fan

English Install/Boot/Login

Installed OS 11.4 M4 on asus eee pc 701, working nice, but - “cpu frequency scaling unsupported”. How to get 900MHz frequency, now it is always 630MHz? I’ve found and added repository for “eeefancontrol”, _Factory, installed it, but it was complaining about missing “eee-kmp”. How to manage with that? Btw

lsmod|grep eee

eeepc_laptop 15088 0
sparse_keymap 3858 1 eeepc_laptop
rfkill 17734 2 eeepc_laptop,cfg80211

moved to pre-release

Agree :slight_smile: But with cpu the same was in 11.3, although probably it will be different in 11.4. Looks like fan stopped after rotating for a dozen minutes or more, so cpu left.

For example, I’ve found:

CPUFreq

The CPU in the eeePC supports CPUFreq via the p4-clockmod driver. For some reason, this is not probed for by default by haldaemon, so you’ll need to edit part of /etc/rc.d/haldaemon to read:

function load_cpufreq_driver() {

CPUFREQ_MODULES=“p4_clockmod speedstep_centrino powernow_k8 powernow_k7 powernow_k6 longrun speedstep_ich acpi_cpufreq”
CPUFREQ_MODULES_GREP="^p4_clockmod|^speedstep_centrino|^speedstep_ich|^powernow_k8|^powernow_k7|^powernow_k6|^longrun|^longhaul|^acpi_cpufreq"

load CPUFREQ modules############

Please note that some users on other distributions have reported instability using this driver. I, however, am using it right now on OpenSUSE 10.3 and have no issues. YMMV.

But this is for older release, no such “haldeamon” file here, so the question is how to managed with this on 11.3/11.4 :slight_smile:
