First time with a centrino laptop. I got Suse 9.2 installed on my i9300. I was just wondering how to throttle the cpu manually. I can edit the power profiles which works good. Thanks

What you want are "cpufrequtils". http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/util...frequtils.html . If you have cpufreq loaded as a kernel module (which it is by default on most recent distributions when loaded on a Pentium-M these days), you can make command-line adjustments to speed with ease.

My laptop uses powernowd. It doesn't seem to work with cpufreqd. powernowd will dynamically change the Mhz from 600-1400Mhz.
