I have updated my overclocking guide with the link also.

Now to use this, copy the text inside the txt file to the N900 clipboard (can open the file via leafpad etc), then create a new beecon widget, go to settings window, then click Advanced on right, click yes,then go down to the bottom, then click paste in top center, then click import on the right side, click yes. then go out. you will now have imported my exact beecon settings.

For those who get the msg "rootsh is now deprecated....), see following post:

Please do note that the 1Ghz widget is using a custom profile.
To get it to work, you will need to run the following from xterminal first and create the modified ideal profile that is clocked up to 1Ghz. (example is using ideal voltage profile)

1. Launch xterminal
2. root
3. kernel-config load ideal
4. kernel-config limits 500 1000
5. kernel-config save ideal_1000

(You can change the "ideal" to "lv" or "ulv" if ideal makes your N900 unstable)

FYI - From QBW 1.94 onwards, you can now utilize DBUS calls to effect another qbw widget from another. (means you don't have to tap the cpu frequency widget everytime you change the overclock to see the new max frequency. It will auto-update whenever overclock widget is used to change speeds)

can anyone help with this annoying problem
I've overclocked my N900 doing the following

kernel-config load lv
kernel-config limits 250 850
kernel-config save myconfig
kernel-config default myconfig

I rebooted the phone and checked using "healthcheck"
it showed min/max clock as 250/850

After a couple of hours the phone felt a bit sluggish when waking it up from standby. I used healthcheck and it showed min/max clock speed as 125/850

I checked with kernel-config show and got

current kernel configuration:
current frequency: 850
supported frequencies: 125 250 500 550 600 700 750 805 850 900 950 1000 1100 1150
min. frequency: 125
max. frequency: 850
avoid frequencies: 125

How can it revert to 125 if that's listed as an avoid frequency?
and why does it run at 250 for a couple of hours before reverting to 125??

I need a little help here.
I have the enhanced settings and kernel for power users, when I try to do kernel-config show, it just says:

/bin/sh kernel-config: not found.

I am in sudo gainroot.

phonecalls changes it from 250/850 to 125/850. If you have conky, it is still 250/850 even if you type kernel-config show in xterm. frequency doesn't change even if it shows 125/850 in xterm.

everytime N900 is rebooted, it loads the stock kernel to avoid endless reboots. try to load LV profile and change the limit to 250/850. try it for a few days and see if the battery still becomes very hot.

@RDK
Have you rebooted after the installation of the enhanced kernel and settings?

This is how I solved it:

Install rootsh
Open xTerminal
root
kernel-config show

to make it easier, (you dont have to be on sudo root)

Code:
/usr/sbin/kernel-config show
