Subject: CPUFreq (SpeedStep) support for Intel PIII (Coppermine) and PIIX4 ?

Hi everybody ?

Is there any plans to support aforementioned combination ? I've seen remarks
in driver sources about unavailability of (sufficient) documentation for this
chipset - does it means SpeedStep for IBM T20/21 series of laptops will not
be available ? Or, maybe, some progress is already underway ? How could I
help ?

There's been some noise about it on the cpufreq list, and an example
driver that works for some people, but not all. It's getting there, slowly.
If you want to know more, I suggest you join the list, and volunteer as
a test bunny.
