Description Sebastian Breier 2007-01-06 11:47:57 UTC 
Ubuntu 7.04
g-p-m 2.17.4-0ubuntu2
Ubuntu Bugtracker: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/75804/

The settings in g-p-m's "speed policy" only result in the CPU frequency governor being set to "conservative", "powersave" and "performance", but not for "ondemand".

As Matthew Garrett said in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/powernowd/+bug/74980, it's a useful setting and is the default in Ubuntu's powernowd initscript (if the CPU supports it). My opinion is that g-p-m should have the setting, possibly making it the default if it's supported by the system.

Yes, this is my error, apologies. When conservative and ondemand were available I was choosing conservative. I know now this is wrong. I changed it in CVS a few weeks ago:

	* src/gpm-cpufreq.c: (gpm_cpufreq_get_governors):
	Use ondemand, not conservative when they both exist.

Can you try CVS and tell me if it works okay? Thanks.

Works fine for me. Thanks! :)
