Bug ID: 832179 QA Contact: docs-qa@lists.fedoraproject.org Severity: medium Version: devel Priority: unspecified CC: ddomingo@redhat.com, oglesbyzm@gmail.com Assignee: r.landmann@redhat.com Summary: Power management guide is wrong for frequency scaling in Fedora 17 Regression: --- Story Points: --- Classification: Fedora OS: Linux Reporter: jnm11@cam.ac.uk Type: Bug Documentation: --- Hardware: All Mount Type: --- Status: NEW Component: power-management-guide Product: Fedora Documentation
Description of problem: Power management guide is wrong https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/17/html/Power_Management_Guide/c...
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 17
the location of the cpufreq directory is misspecified it is /lib/modules/3.4.0-1.fc17.x86_64/kernel/drivers/cpufreq
There are no modules acpi-cpufreq or p4-clockmod available is acpi-cpufreq directly compiled in.
the cpuspeed package is mentioned for the userspace governor but no package exists in fedora 17.
I have been completely unable to figure out the following use case.
My laptop overheats and powers off if the cpu load is high for too long.
There should be a cpu governor or userspace daemon that reduces frequency when the temperature gets too high.
