Hacking the OS X Kernel for Fun and Profiles
Can someone explain what this patch actually does? I have an old Macbook Air with a malfunctioning sensor that cause the CPU to always run in powersaving mode (capped at 800 mhz), so it's basically unusable under OS X.<p>I have walked around this issue by installing Linux which allows me to tune the CPU governor manually, and it uncaps the artificial limit that the malfunctioning sensor puts.<p>Would this patch allow me to do something similar in Mountain Lion?
