[10:03] <brian__> I think I'm in the wrong spot, but does anyone here know how I can tweak the power usage for my laptop
[10:03] <Nailor> hmm
[10:03] <Nailor> Intel chipset?
[10:03] <brian__> yeah
[10:03] <brian__> Pentium M
[10:03] <Nailor> http://www.linuxpowertop.org/
[10:04] <Nailor> I was able to pin down few power eaters with that one
[10:04] <brian__> thanks, I'll check this out :) thanks
[10:05] <brian__> any tips for stepping down the processor? it seems to go as low as 600mhz... but it should go a bit farther, and I want to be able to cap it properly
[10:06] <Nailor> Well, set scaling governor to ondemand or powersave
[10:06] <Nailor> that should keep it running slow
[10:07] <brian__> where do I find the scaling governer? (sorry Im new to this stuff)
[10:08] <Nailor>  /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
[10:09] <Nailor> There's all kinds of stuff in that category, just cat the files to see their content
[10:09] <Nailor> I gotta run now, but hopefully that helps a bit =)
[10:09] <Nailor> just echo powersave in that file should turn your laptop to use the lowest possible frequency
[10:09] <Nailor> And google helps wit those governors
[10:10] <brian__> thanks
