War unlikely since I did apologize for not seeing the point of the post (at this stage perhaps).
I confess I assumed that KDE 4.5 also have similar power management settings as KDE 4.4.4 and I am quite stunned that it doesn’t.
Had I not recently heard to the contrary I would also have assumed that, from using KDE 4.5 on another distro with PowerDevil configuration integrated in System Settings. Vanilla KDE 4.5 that openSUSE makes available in additional repos for those who wish to try it, came without PowerDevil. This leaves it for the distro to implement their preferred power daemon and support it. I would be staggered if openSUSE overlooked such an important requirement in the next release (11.4?).
…please excuse me for pointing out that there is a flaw in your reasoning.
No flaw as I referenced both pieces of evidence taken together, although I agree with your point that #3 only shows the default governor configured and any power management daemon can override that e.g. setting “powersave”. However, cpufreq-info AFAIK has used the important powernow-k8 in gathering it’s info, so yes I am as sure as I can be.
Thanks, but no need to apologise and no time wasted. Please don’t be put off. I was more concerned about a possible diversion from the testing in hand.
