Eee 900HA with EeeCTL

This is what happens when I change the CPU speed on my Eee PC 900HA with EeeCTL. I had to use a lowsy webcam to record the screen because the 900HA completely locks up, so quality isn't the best.

Any ideas on how to fix this? Here are my EeeCTL settings:


[Settings]
Core.Save = Fan;
Core.Menu = Speed,embed; Fan,popup; Backlight,popup; Core;
Core.Keys = aw+esc,Core._quit; aw+down,Speed._down; aw+up,Speed._up; aw+f3,Backlight._down; aw+f4,Backlight._up; aw+0,Fan._auto; aw+3,Fan.30; aw+5,Fan.50; aw+7,Fan.70;
Core.Icon = Temp.C,FFFFFF; Fan.;
Core.IconDelay = 4000
Speed.Profiles = 30,166,0,1000MHz - Low; 39,166,0,1300MHz - Medium; 48,166,1,1600MHz - Maximum; 51,176,1,1700MHz - Turbo Low; 54,176,1,1800MHz - Turbo High;
Speed.StepDelay = 500
Speed.FSBIconMul = 1
Fan.Profiles = 0,30,53; 25,58,54; 30,62,59; 35,64,62; 40,70,64; 50,75,65; 60; 70; 80; 90; 100,90,75;
Backlight.Profiles = Lowest,13; Low,25; Medium,35; Bright,70; Ultra bright,100;
[States]
Fan.Mode=2
Fan.Speed=0

has anybody found a solution to this problem?

I have a 900ha coming on monday and want to know if its worth it to try or should i wait for another control app to come out specifically for teh 900ha.

[diggingforgold]

Sadly, no. But it's worth a try. There are some 900HA users that have reported it works.

[MonsterHorrorBoy]

did you get this working yet?

[diggingforgold]

Not yet. I tried a BIOS update and it did nothing. It's possible that some 900HA's use a different clock generator that is incompatible with EeeCTL. I've just about given up on EeeCTL. Hopefully someone can share their knowledge and time by creating a new one.

Change Core.Save = Fan; Speed; to Core.Save = Fan; Backlight;

The way I fixed this, is put the set.StepDelay thing up to 2000. Works fine for me after that.

Give it a try and lemme know if it works :)

i just put my eee 900 ha into performance mode with she, and then use setfsb, i get it to stable 2.1GHz, which works pretty well. i play wow at like 15 fps in northrend :D accept in dalaran of course.....still get like 2 fps there....

Yeah my 1000HA does that sometimes too.

I've been able to get EeeCTL to work, but you will need to use a much earlier release of EeeClock (0.1.2) which shares no code with EeeCTL. It also doesn't permit backlight brightness customization, pci-express clocking, or fan control. So what I ended up doing in XP was install EeeClock and EeeCTL, and disable all clock-related features in EeeCTL so it doesn't crash. That way I have one program for speed, and another for fan and backlight settings. It's working fine so far.

Mines a newer one and it doesn't work. I have no idea what causes them to not work...

[sprintrjm]

speedy, since the eeectl works on some and not others, is it that newer ones work and older ones dont, or vice versa?

I have a 900ha being delivered on 1/12/09 and im keeping my fingers crossed that eeectl works on the newer ones.

Eeeuser away. ;)

had somehing similar happen with my 900ha as well except the screen didn't go crazy like that. it just turned bright purple. i was forced to do a hard reset. hopefully the guy that developed eeeCTL will fix this bug in a later version.
