After killing the process the console seems to be a lot snappier. I run the powerd on a IBM Thinkpad T22 with a 900 MHz PIII. I could unterstand if the powerd lower the clockrate while the notebook isn't connected to a AC line, but it doesn't matter wether I connect the notebook to the AC line or battery usage. I have looked at hw.clockrate and while connected to the AC line the clockrate isn't changed. Thats okay, I think. ;) But, whats makes me wonder, is that the console is soo slow on the notebook while running powerd and connected to AC. Has anyone discovered the same, or has someone an idea on how to fix this? best regards, Gordon -- Gordon Bergling http://www.0xFCE3.net/ PGP Fingerprint: 7732 9BB1 5013 AE8B E42C 28E0 93B9 D32B C76F 02A0 RIPE-HDL: MDTP-RIPE "There is no place like 127.0.0.0/8"
