Dude, I think we can wait 1 month for more mhz . But I think, if Mara could try overclocking an posting results would be fully legal and would be very nice from him

Heh! This is starting to be interesting:

I found /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq directory where are interesting files. One of them is "cpuinfo_max_freq" and it has 400000 in there. I tried to change it to 420000 in there and save the file (in vi, did sudo gainroot before), but permission denied...

Maybe the file is in use by system and it can not be edited with power on? Fanoush, penguinbait... you know the tricks what to try...

UPDATE: another file is cpuinfo_min_freq and the value in there is 165000.

It looks like the kernel can do dynamic clock frequency changing based on the CPU load? Is it like AMD Cool'n'quiet?

UPDATE2: There is also a file listing time in states... mine show:
165000 1247799
266000 614
330000 10747
400000 131686

It looks like there is 4 speed states the CPU can be?

Can't you make it booting from memory-Card and edit it in a CardReader?

Mara, or anyone else with a n810, do you think you would consider testing this?

running this:

cpufreq-info

This is what happened when I ran it:

Nokia-N800-26:~# cpufreq-info
cpufrequtils 002: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004-2006
Report errors and bugs to , please.
analyzing CPU 0:

http://penguinbait.com/CPUFREQ.tar


cd /
tar cvf CPUFREQ.tar

If you are going to continue, check to see if you have any of these files?

If you do continue and you want to remove it, just run
cd /
tar tf CPUFREQ.tar | xargs rm

Here is what it contains:

The cpufreq frequencies use are set in the kernel (i.e. are constants). You can't edit the selection in this way (I'm not sure if you can any other way, but certainly not by trying to edit the sysfs entry).

Penguinbait: I tried to untar this but it said "empty archive"?

What am I doing wrong?

EDIT: Got it... it needs to be tar -xvf ...

tried to run "cpufreq-info"

The outcome: "cpufreq-info: error while loading shared libraries: libsysfs.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

Hmmm... I assume I need to be in some certain directory to execute this command??? I was in root...

UPDATE: I did cd to the same directory where the libsysfs.so.2 is located and same result...

run ldconfig
then try again

oh wait

edit /etc/ld.so.conf

add

/usr/local/lib

run ldconfig

run command again

This is what I got:
