The 2.6.26 patch works fine with 2.6.27.Quote:

Has anyone actually saved battery life? I read through all 22 pages and only 1 person mentioned something. I just did this on my W500 and my battery usage is exactly the same.
This is not supposed to save battery life, it is supposed to make your PC cooler and quieter. Can ANYONE help me? :(
So, I followed this guide to undervolt, but my cpu is not running any cooler. What's up with that?
Here is lsmod | grep acpi_cpufreq:
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/phc_controlsCode:acpi_cpufreq 14864 0
freq_table 6400 1 acpi_cpufreq
processor 39744 2 acpi_cpufreq,thermal
Why wouldn't my CPU run any cooler? My defaults were:Code:10:2 8:2 6:2
10:40 8:35 6:29
Pogeymanz, your output of " cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/phc_controls " looks suspiciously low. If your CPU is anything like mine, the VIDs cannot be set any lower than the lowest factory VID - which is 19 in my case (with an Intel T5450) and looks to be 29 in your case.
You might want to try manually adjusting your VIDs to
Absolutely no guarantees that that won't harm your computer though; you have been warned.Code:10:29 8:29 6:29
Also, with regards to the battery life; it should help the CPU draw less power even when it's under load, and should therefore help extend battery life. Anecdotally, I'd say mine has improved by 5 minutes or so - compared to a vanilla install. Lowering my VIDs reduced the voltage across the cores by about 0.3V, which is about a 1/4 reduction in voltage. This should correspond to a 1/4 reduction in power drawn by the processor.
Thank you JimmL. Can I ask how you found your lowest factory VIDs? I forgot what the number is for my processor, but it's the Intel Dual Pentium 2.0 GHz.
So far my computer is stable. I even ran burnMMX just for funzies and nothing crashed or anything. I guess my temps under stress were a little lower than before, but idle temps are about the same. Maybe it did work and I was just expecting too much?
