Hi

Have you noticed any battery life improvement with it ?

Well I did on my Aspire One which is almost identical to the msi wind, I used the exact same kexts as u.c. !

It went from like 1:30 to 2:00, still less than I got with vista, but I can live with that!

 

@Superhai, I was just wondering, can you maybe write a brief summary on what the values in info.plist do? I do understand some of them, but some I don't ;)

Really havent tested that much, will let you know soon

Thanks :)

Meanwhile , I'm trying to get the perfect balance.

 

I mean , the msi Wind support well the OC @24% , expect if u actvate it again later a sleep in the wake up time.

Sometimes I get the system freezed , but i don't understand if ti depends on from my pc or the .kext loaded..investigating righ now..

ok , just an info for evey Wind owner.

 

With the flags correctly setted , my wind is smooth and responsive.though I don't advise any imrovements on battery life with the genericcpu kext.But I'm happy with it.

 

Otherwise I dont' understand why , AC powered, my wind goes on "freezed mode", after I wake up it and sent it on OC again (24%)...

 

tried few AppleSMBIOSEFI kext version , and kernels (vanilla and voodoo beta2c) ...no way.

 

Where I got it wrong ?

Try the newest version and check if it works. Also please provide the debug output.

 

Thank for your great efforts

 

Using 1.0.20 just the same

Still no step on clock and voltage.

But at least from screenshoot view, on 1.0.20 there are freq value even all point to 2000MHz

previous on 1.0.19 it point to 0MHz

 

Or i missed something on my configuration ?

That was just a minor misspelling that caused this. Try the newest download.

 

With newest download, now back to before 1.0.19 , my AMD have 2 behaviours it if not hang, it suddenly restart.

Even debug show that now min freq 1000MHz, max 2000MHz

there are 4 step 2000MHz(1400mV) , 1600MHz(1300mV), 1300MHz(1200mV), 1000MHz(1100mV)

But it is normal that P2-P4 states are identical with Voltage 1550 mV  :( ?

 

I dont´t use cpu tables for the newer amd as all info required can be read from the CPU. So it should run already I hope. If not post full debug output. On your cpu pstates 2-4 are disabled (you see it in the valid 0 field). I will add a method 2 that makes more p-states than the hw default one soon.

Ok, can you post full debug output?

Sorry i can provide some debug because it's crash to early before recorded on system.log

With -i option it's hang/restart start when "sending personalities to kernel"

 

if possible that you can take picture of the output... if you start it from -s (single user mode).

Ok. Thanks for explanations.

 

The debug log looks fine, but the state is unchangeble P0 (2200MHz)...

This morning i download the newest one again.

At least when sending personalities to kernel still have chance to log it for a moment before going crash.

With 4 p-state or 6 p-state i think it doesn't have different effect, just have a little time to logging before crash.

After you have loaded the kext can you post the output of

 

ioreg -lxw0 -r -c GenericCPUPowerManagement | grep "CPU "

 

to me?

Here is the output:

 

	  "CPU Status" = {"Auto Throttle"=Yes,"Load"=0xf,"Temperature"=0x0,"Current profile"=0x0,"High jump"=0x12c,"Voltage"=0x0,"Timer"=0xfa,"Low jump"=0x96,"Frequency"=0x898,"Kext Timer"=0x17,"Kext Online"=Yes,"Current state"=0x0,"Voltage ID"=0x0,"Frequency ID"=0x0}
  "CPU Init" = {"CTL max"=0x0,"FSB frequency min"=0xc8,"Signature"=0x100f23,"FSB frequency max"=0xc8,"CTL min"=0x1,"Kext unlock"=No,"Kext version"=0xffffffff80010014,"Brand string"="AMD Phenom(tm) 9550 Quad-Core Processor","Voltage max"=0x4b0,"Frequency min"=0x898,"Frequency max"=0x898,"Voltage min"=0x41a}

can anybody pls help me, i'm unable to reach speeds below 1Ghz. my cpu is t7100 @1.8Ghz. most of the time it is stuck at 1200Ghz.

I have no used much time to look thru the voltages, the low "floor" of the table is set to 712.5 mV which should be correct for most mobile core cpus, but I think desktop core CPUs have a floor level at 837.5 mV, so a 125.0 mV diff is possible. The pentium M used a different table which started on 700 mV and used 16 mV steps. Core uses 12.5 mV steps. I tried to confirm these figures, but had not much success.
