woops, sorry: 2.6.24-17-generic (twas a long night!). I used Intel's powertop application to find the power consumption. Did the file work for you?
it did work, but it running the script goes all the way to zero. and leaves me (after tweaking the results a bit to let it finnish) with something like:
2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 for all freqs. (computer never freezes).
i guess my notebook isnt giving a rat's *** about what undervoltage i give to it.
anyone experiencing this? know of a fix for it? i really long for the above 1hour battery life too
This is so awesome!! I fixed up a gutsy 2.6.22-14-generic kernel by following this other guide, and for finding the voltages I used the optimizer script. It gave me the shits, cause after every lock up I got an 'error 16 - inconsistent file system' and I had to run reiserfsck --check to fix it, but I got the results;
Default VIDs: 15 14 13 11 10 7
Current VIDs: 7 5 3 1 1 1
I actually changed it to 7 5 3 1 0 0 initially but then I realized I didn't really know what I was doing. But because the script adds 2 to the lowest VID tested I'm wondering if a VID of -1 is possible? and what about 0? The other guide says 'remember: you can not set lower VIDs than the lowest default VID'. is that true?
I haven't done a full battery unload yet btw, but the remaining time remains stable while remaining percentage goes down.. I guess it needs calibration..
edit; mm, just got a lockup doing nothing special so I now put in 12:7 11:6 10:5 9:4 8:3 6:1 which makes more sense anyway

Hey guys...
Running the script goes all the way to zero, then tries -1 and the PC crashes. It gave me a message "Recovering CPU", and I waited for a couple of minutes, but it did not recover. Is there anything wrong ? Shouldn't it have stopped before 0 ?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,first of all thanks for this how to.In windows I have undervolted my T7300 to 0.937v@2.0GHz,and had that undervolt in my last 7.10 installation.
Now I am running a fresh install of kubuntu 64bit,and when I make the
it says file or folder inexistant (translation of portuguese).cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/phc_controls
Any thoughts?
Undervolt again would be perfect
