[KLUG Members] Laptop Over heating

[Bill Katsma]

I am running Fedora and my laptop over heats.  I can not even compile
any substantial program.

On fedora website (http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/) it
states:

The Fedora Core 1 kernel includes support for CPU clock throttling
control using the /proc/cpufreq file. In order to use this feature, you
must load one of the following modules:

- longhaul.o

- p4-clockmod.o

- longrun.o

- speedstep-centrino.o

- powernow-k6.o

- powernow-k7.o

- speedstep-ich.o

- speedstep-lib.o

So I load p4-clockmod.o by typing "insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2149.nptl/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/p4-clockmod.o"

And a look at /proc/cpufreq shows

          minimum CPU frequency  -  maximum CPU frequency  -  policy
CPU  0       298732 kHz ( 12 %)  -    2389859 kHz (100 %)  - performance

So either this does not solve my problem or my setting are not
sufficient.

Also what is the best way to load this module at bootup.

Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
