The Increasing Importance Of ACPI Platform Profiles With Today's Throttle-Happy Hardware

[cbxbiker61]

Dang, still no ouput. is it possible lenovo slim7 pro doesn't even trigger your code?

Check to see if either the ideapad_laptop or thinkpad_acpi module get loaded (lsmod). If the ideapad_laptop module gets loaded then it will theoretically work. If the thinkpad_acpi module is loaded the same approach could apply if the thinkpad_acpi.c file was changed in a similar fashion to my patch.

Note that there are quite a few module dependencies to have the ideapad_laptop module auto load. In my testing Ubuntu seemed to be the best bet for a Distro that pretty much supports my Ideapad out of the box (with the exception of the wifi driver).

$ lsmod | grep ideapad_laptop
ideapad_laptop 28672 0
platform_profile 16384 1 ideapad_laptop

It's there alright. Weirdly enough I just noticed that changing the power settings in platform_profile does change the TDP values that ryzenadj -i is reporting, powersave showing 12.5W and performance showing 45-65W, but I can't tell much of a difference between the 2 in regular usage. Now I'm wondering if ryzenadj is reporting false/theoretical values that lenovo is simply ignoring

I'm using a Python based system monitor called glances. Glances will show current/rated GHz values during usage. I'm sure there are other tools that can do it as well. Run a cpu intensive test program and toggle the modes. If your current GHz changes, then it would appear to be working properly.
