Hi

After trying to understand all the different ways through all these pages , I have done this :

1. Launch xterminal
2. Sudo gainroot
3. kernel-config load lv
4. kernel-config limits 250 850
5. kernel-config save ideal_850
6. kernel-config default ideal_850

7 kernel-config default default (resets kernel back to original 600)

Queen Beecon widget is far to complicated for me and extremly unclear,

So I tried this using two scripts

#1 'default_kernel.desktop' placed in /usr/share/applications/hildon

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=0.1
Type=Application
Terminal=true
Name=default kernel
Exec=osso-xterm "sh /opt/scripts/reset_default"
Icon=
X-Window-Icon=
X-HildonDesk-ShowInToolbar=false
X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable

________________

and the second script
#2 named 'reset_default' placed in /opt/scripts

echo Your Nokia N900 kernel is being reset
sudo gainroot
kernel-config default default
echo Your Nokia Kernel is reset to default

I have the little blue widget named 'default kernel' on my desktop which takes me to the line 'Your Nokia N900 kernel is being reset', but then asks me for a password, so I'm stuck

any ideas ?

As a newbie in Linux, maybe I'm way of, for info when i type in 'sudo gainroot' in xterm it works just great

Guys I have problem
I'm with kernel v37
and I overclock N900 with
kernel-config load ideal
kernel-config limits 250 850

But in Conky min limit is not 250, it is 500 Mhz

How to set minimal limit to 250?

newb here, i overclocked for the first time today to 800mhz, ive not noticed too much difference too be honest, a little but its not been the earth shattering experience i had imagined.
anyone else had a similar experience?

I believe you will find it in Jakiman's Overclocking guide.

From 600 to 800, that's expected.

Most of GUI transition effects are GPU accelerated and overclocking does not improve it really. But that extra 200Mhz should make the N900 slightly more responsive overall. Also, apps such as game emulators, My Paint etc should be faster. It's more apparent if you go to 1GHz.

if i overclock further up to 900 i should see a little bit of an increase in responsiveness compared to 800?

is it best to overclock just the cpu or is it best to overclock both the cpu and dsp? (i have just overclocked the cpu).

guys, now i'm runnig xlv@ 250-950 clock speeds and so far, so good...

try watching 2 youtube videos simultaenously

overclocked from 800/125 to 900/125 today and things are quite a bit faster but i dont know if it justifies putting the phone at more risk just for the extra 100mhz so am thinking of maybe going back to 800.
do you guys think its safe to leave it at 900?

What voltage profile do you use?
lv, ulv,xlv?
