hi!
i've a question:
it is possible to create a program that you choose the performance?
for example:
save battery -> 400MHz, low light on the screen, ecc
normal -> 600MHz, ecc
Multimedia -> 5/600 MHz high light on the screen
High performance -> 800MHz/1GHz

is someone to have the capacity for realize this program ?
i think that's a good idea for a wonderful program

Hmm, I think the system itself should be intelligent enough to do this. Why should a user have to take the burden to decide this?
Can you come up with an explicit usecase for "save battery -> 400MHz, low light on the screen" that's not covered by the current N810 that dims the screen after some time anyway?
Why would you want to not use the complete power for "normal" performance? 4 days of battery life in stand-by mode not enough? :-)

yes, you're right. i have the n800 ad i forgot that the n810 can do that...
but this is not a bad idea...
adn what about the high performance? when i go on tne internet i must have a high performance to see the page with full flash, 5 or 6 page on the same time, pop up and so on...

Advanced Power and Advanced Power Monitor (https://garage.maemo.org/projects/advanced-power/) have a CPU Policy option that lets you choose between options like 'conservative','on-demand' and 'performance'. I've found it to be useful for times when I need top stretch the battery life due to a lack of power for an extended time.

I just installed Advanced Power Monitor, how do I access the application?

Just click the battery applet and you'll have options under 'CPU policy'. If cpu policy is not enabled by default, you can enable it in settings->items (again in the battery menu).

Just to know, when i put the device in "performance mode", the clock is 400mhz. When is "ondemand" it's 400mhz ever...
what's the difference???
ondemand means that it space between 165 and 400mhz, but performance is always on 400mhz...
what's the advantage?

i'm not sure i understand your question. however, reason for performance mode is, that system does not need to check for cpu usage and does not try to scale cpu, therefore gives a little bit better performance than "ondemmand".
