intel speedstep: does one need a kernel, a kext, or both?

Hello fellows,

 

I've been googling for this all day, but really can't find an exclusive answer...

 

I'm installing iPC 10.5.6 on a HP pavilion notebook.

After (succesful) install, I don't know how to tell if speedstep is working or not.

How can you tell?

 

Doing research i found that speedstep support is possible with a modded kernel or with a speedstep kext.

If you use one of these kernels, will speedstep work already?

Do you still need the kext? Or is the kext meant for vanilla kernels?

And then what's the best option?

 

I'm now installing again with the stageXNU kernel, but how will I know if it works now?

 

Thank you VERY much in advance,

 

KG

Hi,

 

If you check the 3 sticky threads on top of this forum, you will see one of them has the description "for any and all kernels/processors ;-)".

 

So in short, you can use this kext with any kernel.

 

Note that the kernel itself doesn't do any speedstep, you always need this kext!
