I might be a little late to this party, but anyway, my HP nc4010 has
the cpu throttling going fine in linux without me having to load any
modules myself - it is a pentium M 1.7ghz, i think they cripple the
pentiums a little to make the celerons maybe thats the problem?<br>
<br>
this probably doesn't help much - but I thought Id put it in it seemed
relavant<br>

I suspected as much, although I have found some "documentation" with images of
the Acer power management app' running under Vista indicating that the CPU
can be throttled.

Yes, the default Ubuntu install was set to turn off the screen when the lid
was closed.
It works 2 or 3 times when I use #s2ram ---force. On the second or third
restore the machine powers-off, as in you press a button to get it back to
life, there is a flash of some LED, some noise then power-down
Suspend to disk works in a similar fashion - after the third or fourth resume
I can't get the wireless (Atheros/ndiswrapper) back not mater which modules I
unload and reload and no matter how many ifup's & ifdowns I do.

I'll be looking into it.
It's an OK machine for the $ I payed but it's a bit of a disappointment that
these issues are present as I like being able to just close the lid on the
kitchen bench and walk away - as per the misses Mac.
I'll let you all know if I find any more info.
Cheers,
Rennie
