Hi all,
Recently I got myself a Dell Inspiron 8200 with a Intel P4 Mobile wich has
SpeedStep technology. With power plugged in, this processor runs at 1.6
GHz and with battery only, 1.2 GHz. However I've found that the
/proc/cpuinfo doesn't show this and I was wondering if there were some
patches lying around before I began to look at this on my own.
Regards,

I played with this some time ago - I`ll see if I can dig out the patch
later today.

Depending on the chipset, cpufreq for 2.5. ( http://www.brodo.de/cpufreq/ )
should show the correct value in /proc/cpuinfo _and_ offer you the chance to
control the processor speed. For 2.4., the functionality is offered, but
/proc/cpuinfo stays the same (yet).

cpufre handles this including switching processor speeds, fixing up
udelay and ensuring you dont get stuck at random boot speed

Thanks Dominik, this was exactly what I was looking for. I will try it
out.
