But if I remember correctly, it worked fine on my 701 (only two modes,
but no freeze).
To trigger the bug, I have to "echo 0 >/sys/devices/platform/eeepc/cpufv" ?
I don't have my 701 right now, so I can't test, is there anything in
dmesg or is it only a bad hardware freeze ?

Anyway, if we disable it for 701, how can we detect that this is a 701
? using dmi matching ? when only 2 modes are available ?
Thanks,
