Hey runtime,
Quick question. I got my hands on a more powerful nvidia card and offloaded video decoding to it. Now my HD videos only use 2-3% CPU. I would like to make sure the CPU throttling is on. To undo the instructions in this post I did this:
sudo apt-get install powernowd
sudo rcconf
recheck powernowd, ondemand (didn't have the others)
sudo apt-get remove rcconf
sudo nano /usr/bin/runXBMC.sh
remove line "echo performance..."
Is that right?
Thanks in advance,
-Ed

Yes that sounds about right; for peace of mind, if you like instead of removing the line "echo performance..." replace the word 'performance' with 'ondemand'.
As mentioned in my previous post, you can check which CPU scaling governor is selected using the following command: Code: cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governorXBMC Project Founder (Retired) |
