  5. Re: HowTo: Undervolt your notebook CPU for longer battery life

    Thanks for the info.

    Unfortunatly, I already had exit 0 as the last line of rc.local, so the problem seems to be something else. Any ideas?
  6. Re: HowTo: Undervolt your notebook CPU for longer battery life

    I had done this previously, but it seems this file is not being read at reboot because when I run the cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/phc_controls I get my old values and have to sudo tee...

    I don't really understand how to put myself in the "video" group. I checked the /dev/video0 properties, and it does say the group "video" has read and write access, but when I go to "Manage Groups"...

  13. Re: HowTo: Undervolt your notebook CPU for longer battery life

    No, there isn't anything to upgrade...the only versions of 2.6.28.15 is the one I currently have (not the ~undervolt). Too bad.
  14. Re: HowTo: Undervolt your notebook CPU for longer battery life

    Yes, they're there. (That's where I had found the 2.6.28-13 ~undervolt files). What did I do wrong?
  18. Re: HowTo: Undervolt your notebook CPU for longer battery life

    Not solved yet...I couldn't find anything with 2.6.28-15 ~undervolt in the repositories, so I tried installing 2.6.28-13 ~undervolt a few days ago. Now I have some strange mix. What is installed is...
  19. Re: HowTo: Undervolt your notebook CPU for longer battery life

    I've updated a couple of times, but nothing happens except for the normal security updates. It doesn't offer to update the kernel. What to do? I'm running 9.04 with 2.6.28-15. Thanks!
