I've never sought out anything from Test before. The scary stuff lives there. Some directions in layperson's terms please.

Hi,

I will try it as soon as possible. I'll add testing at the end of the line in the repository which is configured, close the repos section, reload, update just cpufreq-utils and cpufreq it available as well in the testing repos, then remove "testing" from the end of the line, to be sure I won't forget and update all from testing next time I do the update.

If it is your everyday system, you may not want to try. Most people who test have a version installed dedicated to this purpose.

Generally I don't manage to bend systems far before they break, and I think it is a result of being still on the steep early bit of the learning curve. I'm not afraid. So you do it!

f34r ! I just tried.  
Same thing. Maybe could it be due to the kernel config ?

# zgrep GOV /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE=y
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_POWERSAVE is not set
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_USERSPACE is not set
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_ONDEMAND is not set
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_CONSERVATIVE is not set
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_PERFORMANCE=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_POWERSAVE=m
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_USERSPACE=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_ONDEMAND=m
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_CONSERVATIVE=m
CONFIG_CPU_IDLE_GOV_LADDER=y
CONFIG_CPU_IDLE_GOV_MENU=y

I am not a specialist, I just notice that "ondemand" does not produce something that I would expect, and same for conservative (that is not taken in account at all).

You just know that we're going to have to let the Big Guy get Christmas out of his system and then go bug him.
