The CPU in this notebook is a "DESKTOP PIII", which means no speedstep or whatever. They drop the speed by changing whatever, using their super secret "SCI/HCI" method they had since old laptops. Of course, there are no docs. You can't change the CPU speed using ACPI (on this machine). Bother toshiba and ask them why they suck so much. At the end I just ended up getting rid of linux off of it (why bother with it shutting down every 5 minutes while compiling mozilla?) and went back to satellite 2545xcdt. At least in windoze I can use their (ugly) control panel and drop the speed to High or Medium and not have it shutdown every 5 minutes. And yeah, this shutdown problem will only get worse. It was working fine for about 20 days after purchase, started shutting down on "max" speed after that, I've had my first power shutdown on "high" a few weeks ago, and couple days ago it was running at like 82"C and shut off while the cpu was at 400mhz. Toshiba knows about this, but according to their engineers they are still "working on a fix". tim -- ・‥…━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━…‥・ timecop at japan.co.jp | OA通信サービス株式会社 | NTT DoCoMo Please don't CC me on anything sent to mailing lists or send me email directly unless it's a privacy issue, thanks. ・‥…━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━…‥・ |
