CPUFREQ default policy not set to userspace
Last modified: 2007-06-05 11:20:50 UTC
I filed a bug report for 10.0 (which is now closed) about my SpeedStep not working with the kernel governor. With the userspace governor everything works fine. I was told that "userspace" would be the default anyway for 10.1, but it´s not.
I think you misunderstood this. We want to get rid of "userspace" completely, as soon as the kernel governor works for all setups. We do not want to make userspace default. Do you have the 10.0 bug # at hand?
Oh, ok I misunderstood this :( The bug I originally files was #118735 It has been marked as a duplicate of #113615
I will try to implement something to fall back automatically to userspace (or at least issue a loud honking warning at boot :-) but it is not ready yet. Sorry for the inconvenience. I'll keep this open as an enhancement, so it will stay on my radar.
If ondemand does not work, powersaved now automatically tries the userspace governor, so we should get a working setup if at all possible.
