I've over clocked mine to 1ghz, but on that link you posted you have a few references to 1200mhz, I thought it was only possible to go up to 1000mhz. also is pushing it past the one 1ghz mark a bad idea as I noticed that most people only go to 1ghz
cheers

this means that Applications manager or apt-worker is currently running.
you need to close the former and wait for the latter to finish.
the deinstallation icon should only gone when you have successfully deinstalled the pacakge.

And...

apt-get remove -y kernel-power kernel-power-modules

Gives exactly the same.

Any thoughts? Kernel flasher app is no longer in app manager and the uninstall icon has gone...!

1150 is the limit as no got 1200 working.
everything > 600Mhz is a bad idea, if you ask Nokia.
note that 1150Mhz requires almost 2.5x the current of the stock 600Mhz!

it all to do with safe working tolerances, I dont mind some risk. Running at 1ghz hasn't given me any problems I was just wondering if there was a noticeable difference in the amount of problems people have when they push for 1.15ghz. The current aint to bad as it doesn't use it constantly.

I am using the psx emulator and ff7 and want the game running as good as possible

Hi!
I have used 1.15 GHz clock for a while now with MyPaint 0.8.2.
There is now much of heat generated because CPU is not running
max speed all the time. BUT If I use GPS, 3G.. or watching videos..
there is a problems then, I think.

I do not know how long my N900 last with this extreme clocking but..
MyPaint is so pleasure to use with 1.15 GHz clocking.. almost liquid.. so Let's see.

EDIT: There is also NOTICEABLE difference when using 1000 MHz vs. 1.15 GHz with MyPaint!

BTW. I use Titan's kernel-flasher-maemo 2.6.28-maemo22?
I do not know how to update safely to the newer ones
and what are the benefits about those. ( could be a lot.. but I am bit noob about this )

Any idea why its not seeing kernel-power and kernel-power-modules as installed?

Edit: Went ahead and reinstalled the enhanced kernel and its running beautifully on ideal at 500/850 and 500/1000. This is brilliant! Thanks Titan.

this looks good, except that you had apparently already deinstalled kernel-power.

possible explanations that deinstall fails for same people:
* they are running leaked release 1.2
* Application manager, apt-worker are running
* no internet connection for downloading the original kernel
* kernel-power is removed but the original kernel could not be installed

the upgrade is described here
http://wiki.maemo.org/Kernel_Power#U....3C_maemo24.29

the new version allows you to use the more convenient new kernel-power-settings package.

Sorry if it was discussed earlier, but I have impression that n900 eats more battery when I allow 125mHz then if I set minimum on 250mHz ... Is that so?
