Superhai Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Version 1.2.5 ACPI Edition There are many of you who can't use VoodooPowerMini, and if you are lucky enough to have a ACPI implementation for controlling Performance Stepping, you can try this one. This will also be a part of the 1.3 release, the code was originally part of the ACPI option from GenericCPUPowerManagement. Downloads, and support is to be done at http://www.superhai.com/ Doesn't work? If you have so called FFixedHW or Functional Fixed Hardware implementation, you can't use this edition. You can post bug report at the forum. I usually don't have the chance to check this thread regularly so do not post issues here. Bugs will most likely be fixed for the 1.3.x release, not earlier. It is not necessary to repost bugs already reported on the forum or in Google Code. System Requirements? x86-class CPU with ACPI control of power management (i.e. not FFixedHW) Darwin Kernel 10.x.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

System Requirements? x86-class CPU with ACPI control of power management (i.e. not FFixedHW) Darwin Kernel 10.x.x Thank you superhai, you did a great job! Sorry for my poor English, because I'm Chinese, I've been just installed the VoodooPowerACPI.kext in /E/E and use kext utility rebuild Extensions.mkext, when I reboot the system and use -v to boot, It didn't show any message about loading this kext, and I didn't see the kext show in System Profiler -> Extensions How can I know the Voodoo Power kext loaded sucessfully? My system is 10.6.2. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superhai Posted December 25, 2009 Author Share Posted December 25, 2009 How can I know the Voodoo Power kext loaded sucessfully? If it doesn't load is it most likely because you didn't fulfill the system requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiyin Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 If it doesn't load is it most likely because you didn't fulfill the system requirements. Thanks for reply, the system requirement for the VoodooPowerACPI.kext is: x86-class CPU with ACPI control of power management here is my boot log, can you help me to see is my system match the requirement? I saw this: Dec 24 18:46:11 localhost kernel[0]: ACPI: System State [s0 S3 S4 S5] (S3) so，is my system support "x86-class CPU with ACPI control of power management" ???

hrvy Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 This kext stopped my SL 10.6.2 on my Eee 901 from working. It somehow messed up the whole system. Maybe it was just me who did sth wrong but after reinstalling (couldn't get my system working) i'll stick with voodoopowermini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e-rick Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Hi, this might be a stupid question, but how do I check if P-state changing is actually happening? Can I trust CPU-X for this? Because if I can, then nothing is changing. With Voodoopowermini I did see changes in CPU-x. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliasa_anderson Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Hi, this might be a stupid question, but how do I check if P-state changing is actually happening? Can I trust CPU-X for this? Because if I can, then nothing is changing. With Voodoopowermini I did see changes in CPU-x. You could also use the command sysctl from within the command line/terminal. You could use : sysctl|grep -i freq the value corresponding to curfreq will give the current frequency of the CPU,by varying the load,this should vary and hence you can validate if frequency scaling is occuring or not.

Beerkex'd Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I agree it's too bad there's no 10.5.x support. My P4 Hackintosh would like it. Another question in the 'may be stupid' category: Is disabling of AppleIntelCPUPowermanagement.kext required to use VoodooPowerACPI? (I'm guessing that's a yes).

iMacracker Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 how do i know if its working? cause i tried "sysctl|grep -i freq" and it gave me " usage: sysctl [-bn] variable ... sysctl [-bn] -w variable=value ... sysctl [-bn] -a sysctl [-bn] -A sysctl [-bn] -X" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
