HP Compaq nx6125 touchpad weirdness

[Mika Penttilä]

Hi!
I'm seeing weird Synaptics touchpad behavior on the HP Compaq nx6125 
with FC4 X86_64 (updated to latest). A tap on the touchpad generates 
sometimes Button1, sometimes Button 2 events, I think more often 
Button2, which makes it quite difficult to use. Is there something to 
tune for this, or is this a known one? Under Windows it seemed to work ok.

Thanks for any input!
Mika

HP Compaq nx6125 cpu speed

[Mika Penttilä]

Any idea what is scaling the cpu speed in fedora core 4 (HP Compaq 
nx6125 x86-64 fc4)? On AC, pkill -SIGUSR1 cpuspeed, doesn't keep the 
speed at max, after a while it's at min. Even killing cpuspeed and doing 
manually echo "1800000" > scaling_setspeed keeps the cpu at max only a 
while...

Thanks,
Mika

What happens if, as root, you run
echo performance > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

Hope this helps,

James.
