'cpufrequtils - utilities to deal with the cpufreq Linux kernel feature This package contains two utilities for inspecting and setting the cpu frequency through both the sysfs and procfs CPUFreq kernel interfaces.' "libcpufreq0 "- shared library to deal with the cpufreq Linux kernel feature. This library provide an unified method to access the CPUFreq kernel interface.' "powernowd - control cpu speed and voltage using 2.6 kernel interface This simple client controls CPU speed and voltage using the sysfs interface to the CPUFreq driver in v2.6 Linux kernels. It does not depend on APM or ACPI, and it doesn't try to do anything other than control the CPU. The name is somewhat misleading, as any CPUfreq capable processor will work, not just those from AMD. However, it works better on CPUs that support more than two speed steps, like those with AMD's PowerNow! or Intel's Pentium M series. This daemon is less complicated than cpufreqd or cpudyn, at the cost of absolutely depending on a 2.6 kernel with the userspace governor and sysfs support enabled." Use the commands cpufreq-set or cpufreq-info to set or check status. There are man pages for each. -- Greg Madden -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
