I have a quick quistion

if i go to xterminal
type:
sudo gainroot
(enter)
then;
kernel-config limits 500 1000

in conkey its says that it is 1000Mhz Runing!

is this the good way to go? my englisch is not that good and i don't understand everything in this tread!
btw; i don't care about anny battery uses!
is this the best way to change it? (and easiest)

ohyeah ,if also tried kernel-config load ideal, is it better to keep it that way?

Alarmed is such a cool app, ive set 3 OC profiles, sleep, work, and ideal, that switch automaticaly on a daily or weekly bascis.
Along with queen beecon this is one of the best things for overclocking

Update to my temperature script saga ! now nearly 3 days in and finally got it working , re-included 250mhz in my default (loads at boot symlink from k.power settings) config with more volts (250=30v 500=33v) but retained 500mhz minium freq in 'usr/local/bin/overclock' script and running extra decoders from maemo.org repo no extrs/testing or devel. not testing them further as got all file support now even after i restart n900 . also found that temperature °c and battery % scripts when together never both worked,only °c worked never battery % . As such i have removed battery % for now as i felt battery °c more critical than %...

I am trying this for the last week:
Sampling_rate on 700000
Up_threshold on 65
With an minimum off 500mhz.

Sampling_rate and up_threshold are bind together.
What i mean is Every 700ms there will be taken a look how much average CPU usage there is, if it exceeds 65 it will upscale.

Result is a longer battery live, CPU stays more @ 500 mhz or other lower frequencies.
On 500mhz you have already a little bit power is say, so the 700ms you will not notice.

With a 500mhz to whatever mhz I think this is overall better for the CPU also.


Still i can maybe finetune this, because i think 700ms is much but it feels very nice with these settings and overall my experience is better.
Or lower the threshold a little bit more, but i like it already @ this settings.


sorry for my english I think, but i tried.

Please comment because i think this works pretty damn well.
I have come to the same conclusion but are using 350000 as rate instead. The problem i have is that if i go higher the phone get's unstable and unresponsive. Maybe cause i run on 250 minimum. 350000 is good though.

i have followed jakiman's overclocking:

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...582#post595582

when i load the ideal frequencies(500 850), it work but after an hour or two, the frequencies are now 125 850. same thing when i set to 250 850. it always goes down to 125.

any ideas guys?

so meaning, even if it shows in "kernel-config show" that the frequencies are 125 850, the setting remains 250 850?
