How do I change the processor speed on my laptop it is a 1600 and Fiesty only sees it at the lowest speed 800. CMOS sees it at 1600 and fiesty sees it at 800 makes a very slow computer. Thanks in advance. Other friends who I have introduced to Kubuntu have the same problem, this may be a bug??

Re: changing Processor speed
Hi,
If it's a speed step processor, it can be normal, you can set the cpu policy with the powermanager, right click on it and you should see :
- performance
- powersave
- dynamic
Set it to performance to get it always to max...
Hope it helps -
Re: changing Processor speed
How does one convince PowerManager to save the setting between reboots? I can set it to Performance no problem, and the speed of the proc goes to max, but when I reboot, it's back to dynamic.
Peace,

Re: changing Processor speed
Having the same issues.
However in looking for powermanager the only thing that I can find is powermanger for display and right clicking does nothing to take me to cpu stepping options.
Could you please be a little more explicit.
Thank you.Comment

Re: changing Processor speed
After some research on the web (several hours), it turns out that powernowd provides automatic stepping for cpu's that use stepping. So there really is no need to bother with it. But if you are so inclined you can change it by using powernowd from command line. Link to more info http://www.deater.net/john/powernowd.html.
