As it turns out I can only use p4_clockmod because my new laptop has only a celeron M. I am able to slow it down, But I am not really sure if it is really lowering the temp. Other than feeling sluggish and clumsy when I drive the clock, I am not really sure how check. On going monitoring.
You can try to 'cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature'. I want some interactive control over the powersaving features, so I use some userspace apps[1] and put this in /etc/rc.local: 'echo userspace > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor'
We are a bit opposite. I just set it to the best power saving setting without making me feel slowed down and left it there. This is why I left it for the BIOS to handle on my old notebook. In this case the BIOS doesnt give me the options, so I had to use the kernel and set it "ondemand".
