I don't get it - install TC on CF-Card / no persistency

<< < (3/3)

Andreas_2009:
I'm refering to no variable. It simply worked with the standard config file from conky and conky just showed up the currenctly used frequency (currently 667MHz, the lowest step).
I have nothing here to stress my cpu in order to see, how the frequency and conky reacts in that case.
Hopefully the frequency goes up to 1GHz on demand as needed.

Hm, you mentioned the temperature. I tried lm_sensors on the Geode-board, but no sensors were found  :(
So I don't know, if cpufreq pushes the temperature higher than without, but to be honest, I can't imagine, because of the lower frequency.
Since now, all computers I used got a lower temperature after using cpufreq with a lower frequency.
What cpu are you using?

Juanito:
You can get the cpu temperature via the acpi subsystem - the conky variable "acpitemp". You can also get this directly from /proc or /sys - I'm at my old non-acpi desktop at the moment otherwise I could give you the details.

I was using a pentium m, now I've moved to a core duo - both are slowed down by the default cpufreq config temperature setting unless I change it.

curaga:
It's in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone, but not all ACPI bioses have it there.

i'm thinking conky is configured to show portions of /proc/cpuinfo, something like that.
