It seems that some BIOS vendor provide false information from the int15 values, or even worst do not implement at all the int15 stuff. Unfortunately, some vendor seems to like to actually write to the registry instead of the int15, and therefore breaking other OS (even Windows XP). Of course, as any real man, you have completely wipped out bad OS, but then you don't have anymore that damned registry. All is lost? No, of course. A quick way to get it is to go to the driver download page of your vendor, take the speedstep applet, then unzip it. There is then good luck that there is a file for updating the registry. That file will give you the correct values to pass to the speedstep-smi driver. An example: for the toshiba 3000-100, there is a ssap-tosh3000-win2k.zip then: unzip ssap-s3000-win2k give a me a ''Intel Speed Step Applet' directory. ls -R under 'Intel Speed Step Applet' gave me: Intel Speed Step Applet$ ls -R .: disk1 disk2 ./disk1: DATA.TAG Registry.ini SETUP.INI _ISDEL.EXE _sys1.cab data1.c= ab layout.bin setup.ins setup.lid ISTUnDLL.dll SETUP.EXE _INST32I.EX_ _SETUP.DLL _user1.cab lang.da= t os.dat setup.iss ./disk2: data2.cab the directory disk1 have a Registry.ini: cat disk1/Registry.ini=20 [PRPC] Port=3D0x000000B2 Command=3D0x00000082 Flags=3D0x10000232 UserPrefs=3D0x0000000d SystemPrefs=3D0x00000010 EventRegister=3D0x00000000 SetStateRetry=3D0x00000400 AppletTimeout=3D0x00000078 PollPeriod=3D0x000007d0ducrot@neptune:~/t/t$=20 The correct parameter to pass are: modprobe speedstep_smi smi_port=3D0xb2 smi_cmd=3D0x82 (smi_port is the Port registry, and smi_cmd is the Command). Hope that help, --=20 Ducrot Bruno -- Which is worse: ignorance or apathy? -- Don't know.
