I ran Opensuse 10.3/11 KDE3 on my HP laptop, and recently went back to
Ubuntu 8.10. Opensuse runs better on this laptop than any distro ever
has hands down. I just got my Opensuse 11.1 DVD in the mail. It is going
to replace Ubuntu. I just can’t decide between the comfortable KDE3 or
KDE4. I’ve played around with the 11.1 KDE4 live CD, and the only thing
missing for me is something to control CPU policy. With KDE3, there was
kpowersave. I could set both CPU’s to full speed. The only applet I
could find in KDE4 was the battery monitor applet. I tried to set it to
performance, but the CPU’s still showed 800(capable of 2000). I’m I just
misunderstanding something, or is there anternative to kpowersave?

power devil - it’s managed in systemsettings -> advanced tab -> power
management
there’s also lithium which has a plasmoid, cmd is “li”
Suse 11.0 x64, Kde 4.2beta (unstable repo), Opera 9.x weekly
There is in the latest beta it’s in kicker > Configure Desktop >
Advanced >Power management. Even better than the kde3 version IMHO
however wasn’t that great in 4.13 as far as i remember
It seemed to stick when I changed it in system settings> advanced>
powermanagement. It didn’t change just by setting it in the panel
applet. Thanks for the info. I guess I’ll be trying KDE4 this
weekendlol!
