It wont manually set the speed? #cd /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ #echo -n 800000 > scaling_setspeed

Not a solution but may give you some ideas https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=17648&hl=

emerge gentoo :lol:

Some Laptops have a "reset" button to press on the bottom. Usually needs a pen to do it. .

Im glad you got it working. Always glad to help a member of the board !!!! .

That link is a good read. The modprobe command will load the module but when you reboot it wont load automatically. Sorry Im not running Mandy so Im not sure the the exact file. In Mepis its /etc/modules. I knew the patch was applyed in the 2.6 kernells just didnt know when.

Humor me Try this for a test. Comment out all of the synaptic stuff. Like this: #Section "InputDevice" #Driver "synaptics" #Identifier "Mouse2" #Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" #Option "Protocol" "auto-dev" #Option "LeftEdge" "120" #Option "RightEdge" "830" #Option "TopEdge" "120" #Option "BottomEdge" "650" #Option "FingerLow" "14" #Option "FingerHigh" "15" #Option "MaxTapTime" "180" #Option "MaxTapMove" "110" #Option "EmulateMidButtonTime" "75" #Option "VertScrollDelta" "20" #Option "HorizScrollDelta" "20" #Option "MinSpeed" "0.3" #Option "MaxSpeed" "0.75" #Option "AccelFactor" "0.015" #Option "EdgeMotionMinSpeed" "200" #Option "EdgeMotionMaxSpeed" "200" #Option "UpDownScrolling" "1" #Option "CircularScrolling" "1" #Option "CircScrollDelta" "0.1" #Option "CircScrollTrigger" "2" #EndSection and dont forget to : Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "layout1" InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer" #InputDevice "Mouse2" "AlwaysCore" Screen "screen1" Screen "screen2" RightOf "screen1" #Option "Xinerama" EndSection Need I say make a backup Im willing to bet that the touchpad will work just the same. Oh I still need the out put of that command. Also post you xorg log. Found in /var/log directory. .

OH now Im hooked on this thread Lets get some more info here shall we? First post your entire xorg.conf here. Second post the output of the below command: cat /proc/bus/input/devices Also make sure you have "Event interface" (evdev) loaded. the command lsmod will show you loaded modules. modprobe <module> will load the modules with its dependencies. Great little tool "nano" is huh? I always use the -w switch. It turns off word wrapping long lines.. I think Mandrake is on udev now so that means Udev (at last check) has 4 device locations you can use for mice. /dev/input/mice /dev/input/mouse0 (there will be mouse1, mouse2,.. if you have more, but mouse0 is for 1st mouse) /dev/misc/psaux (which has symlink /dev/psaux)

Yea Im just so darn good huh?

Ill willing to bet that is your touchpad. Humor me. Make a backup first then try this: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "SynapticsMouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto-dev" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "MaxSpeed" "0.12" Option "MinSpeed" "0.06" Option "BottomEdge" "4200" Option "SHMConfig" "on" Option "LeftEdge" "1700" Option "FingerLow" "25" Option "MaxTapTime" "180" Option "MaxTapMove" "220" Option "FingerHigh" "30" Option "VertScrollDelta" "100" Option "TopEdge" "1700" Option "RightEdge" "5300" Option "AccelFactor" "0.0010" EndSection Also in the file: Section "ServerLayout" section Section "ServerLayout" InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer" InputDevice "SynapticsMouse1" "SendcoreEvents" note the chang to "mouse" for the synaptic driver and the "SendcoreEvents" in the Serverlayout section. Remember to backup first. Oh with nano its: nano -w /path/to/file/file.txt when done simply cntrl+x then it will ask you if you want to save. Type yes then enter - done :)

I was a long time Gentoo user but my laptop had a overheating problem so I moved on to Mepis. The HD install was flawless. Its a great Debian Disto. As for -4 - Mepis still operates under XFree86 not Xorg. So I have a XF86Config-4 not xorg.conf. Here is the funny part. After I checked my XF86Config-4 again I saw this: #synapitcs in the modules section. So I took out the whole synptics part out of my XF86Config-4. The only entery was for my usb mouse. You know what? Both the usb mouse and my synaptics touchpad worked still. Some things that may have made a difference: I compile my own kernel - I have been working on its config file for about 2 years now. I build everything into the kernel - no modules. Check out my loaded modules: root@4[Kmenu]# lsmod Module Size Used by ppp_deflate 5248 0 bsd_comp 5760 0 ppp_async 9856 0 Also check your dsmeg log and your Xorg logs.

Here is the sections out of my XF86Config-4 Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Touchpad" Driver "synaptics" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Protocol" "auto-dev" Option "LeftEdge" "1700" Option "RightEdge" "5300" Option "TopEdge" "1700" Option "BottomEdge" "4200" Option "FingerLow" "25" Option "FingerHigh" "30" Option "MaxTapTime" "180" Option "MaxTapMove" "220" Option "VertScrollDelta" "100" Option "MinSpeed" "0.06" Option "MaxSpeed" "0.12" Option "AccelFactor" "0.0010" Option "SHMConfig" "on" Option "Repeater" "/dev/input/mice" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "USB Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Buttons" "5" EndSection and Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "XFree86 Configured" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "USB Mouse" "CorePointer" EndSection What I have also seen in this setup is an addition to the Serverlayout: InputDevice "Touchpad" "SendcoreEvents"

Try "nano" instead. simple and easy to use. Also since I moved to xorg I had to change it to Driver "mouse" for both the usb mouse and the touchpad. Also with my Laptop it says no synaptics found - both scrool and taps work. Ill post my XF86Config-4 when I get home for ya. Plug- If you have a broadband connection try and download the Mepis3.3 cd - Its a "live-cd". It found and correctly setup my touchpad. You could boot to the cd check to see if it works then check the settings.

Try adding psmouse.proto=imps to your bootloader and reboot. Reload lilo if MDK uses it first. Try that.

Remember Mepis is a "Live-cd" as well

try MEPIS :lol:

You know I forget if it was 9.1 0r 9.2. I think it was 9.2 - That is the TEXSTAR modified superpackages he used to do. I left Mandy after he did. His packages were top notch.

Boot to a Linux Live distro and test the speed

To this day I still dual boot. Cant remember the last time I booted to XP but its there.

Remember my "Thank God for Firewalls" http://mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtop...472&hl=firewall I ended up truning the remote logging off. :unsure:

CPU throttle: http://mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=17648&hl=speed First ask yourself why do you need it? If your not saying because if your not saying to conserve battery power when traveling its probably a waste. It set it up once - look good - then never used it again. I think there is a cpu applet for the Gnome bar too. DSL Speed: http://mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=11675&hl=speed Aslo try and disable ipv6 Edit /etc/modprobe.d/aliases and change alias net-pf-10 ipv6 to alias net-pf-10 off. in firefox address> about:config find networking_disable_ipv6 change false to true. Also try an alternate DNS server: http://www.opennic.unrated.net/public_servers.html

Now cybrjackle tell us what you really think :lol:

I installed Kubuntu again on a separate partition. Seemed OK (Xorg still hogs resources). I found out that if you add Debian testing+unstable your system may become hosed. I did it cause its just for fun :lol: If you install Kubuntu/Ubuntu stick with the ubuntu repos unless needed. Im sticking with Mepis.

stupid qestion but: In the priority section is a 0 or 1 more priority than say 10?

I ended up installing MEPIS over my Ubuntu. Something was just wrong with Xorg. I would move my mouse or a screen and it would jump to 100% cpu power. Odd http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=116394#post116394
