Just out of interest is anyone else using different govenor settings since setting them has been enabled in settings
+0.09?
Im currently playing with the conservative govenor, so far ive seen no negative effects on performance and its spending much more time at lower freqs (so maybe safer than ondemand) and im seeing the full range of available freqs (500-1000mhz in conky, its too early to tell if there is any effect on battery life yet but i believe it used less than usual over night, (6% drain over 12hours)
These kernels and settings are wicked. Thanks Titan for an amazing job well done
i believe i missed that part of changing governors. so still stuck with ondemand.
I'd love to try out conservative but unfortunately, there's nowhere in the kernel-config script yet to set sampling_rate or ignore_nice_load (they are only enabled for ondemand at the moment) and also the extra settings that are solely for the conservative governor (sampling_down_factor and freq_step) aren't yet implemented. Finally, avoid_frequencies is also only available for ondemand, although I leave all enabled.
Hopefully I might get chance to edit the script myself this afternoon..
Also has anyone been able to get cpufreqd to compile for the N900? I tried but the acpi.c script caused gcc to fail despite ./configure being successful. It's the only userspace governor that has been worked upon since January 2008 (in fact cpudyn hasn't been edited since my birthday in 2005!)

I put a brief discription of what the different govenors do a couple of pages back, they can be changed in cpufrequi (or you can now just edit your my config settings) but untill settings 0.10 they couldn't be made to stick in the settings by saving myconfig.
Just another parameter we're now able to tweek thanks to Titan, these kernels seem to get better every day, i look forward to seeing what we will be able to do next
well, the question is:
Does overclocking N900 damage your phone in a long term?
I live in Australia meaning its bloody hot here..XP soo i was thinking about overclocking it to 750Mhz.. will it damage my phone or it wont matter at all.?

Read my guide. Basically, we do not know.
Technically, it might and can. But in reality, no idea.
N900 gets plenty hot even at default 600Mhz if pushed hard.
(no idea if it's cpu/battery/gpu/dsp that's generating the most heat)

From what ive read and watching conky seems to confirm this, conservative is set at up threshold at 80% & down at 20% with sample rate of 300000, hopefullt we will be able to configure these and ignore freqs in one of the next settings updates

i agree, i changed governors to conservative and only gives me negative effects on game emulators (slow response) all in all its great.
i can see from this day (or the day titan's kernels arise) that Overclocking will be official........

playing VGBA and calls for about 20 mins makes my n900 warm enough (which is normal)
same as if overclocked @ 1GHz, taking into considerations, that heat wont damage the HW but overvolting may, and as jakiman says, "we do not know" and everything is still in theory.
