Why do you prefer such daemon instead of leaving that to the kernel to handle? I notice the debian laptop task install cpufrequtils, and it will feed values into /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/* to enable power saving mode when there is little to do. > The problem with it is that you have to load different modules > depending on your cpu to make it useful. cpufreq-userspace should > always be loaded (for powernowd) and another module depending on the > cpu: speedstep-centrino for most laptops without an amd core (a look > to /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq would > give hints).

Are there any packages able to detect and install the correct cpufreq kernel module present in Etch or available from somewhere else?
