2) Installed the power kernel settings/config app also from app manager
3) Restarted the phone
4) opened xterminal
5) Typed sudo gainroot (rootsh is installed)
6) Typed sudo /usr/sbin/kernel-load /usr/share/kernel-power-settings/ideal (which I understand will allow me to test the "ideal" kernel config without making permanent changes)

So I thought I would check if my minimum clock speed was now fixed at 500mhz (as set in the ideal file by default) using the conky app. But my min clock speed is actually 250Mhz which leads me to think that the above commands are not working or I have missed something out.

Can anyone spot my mistake please?

Edit to add, I do not have a file called "kernel-power" in my /etc/default directory - is this normal when only wanting to "test" settings before making them permanent or do I need this file even when just running in "test" mode?

Thanks

you need to create /etc/default/kernel-power from xterm, then copy the settings from /usr/share/kernel-power-settings/

an easier method is to install ssh and edit those files from your pc using winscp

and when your done, reboot, and then from xterm

sudo gainroot

navigate to /usr/sbin/

then type

kernel-load /etc/default/kernel-power

so far i've not messed about with pmconfig at all so i don't know if those settings will be loaded or not ...
