and have it say GOVERNOR="performance"
it will not come up from a boot that way. I will still have cpu
frequency scaling running. I have to run /etc/init.d/cpufrequtils
from the cli, and yet it IS in the rc.d scripts.
Anybody knows what is going on here?
Perhaps a better option for me would be to use userspace and manually
set the freq (full when running vms, slower when not needed) and that
way I will not always be sucking down the juice. What would a good
userspace tool be? dual core amd cpus.
I am running gnome desktop so I dpkg-reconfigure gnome-applets, set up
frequency applet with suid root. This allows me the ability to use the
applets to set the CPU scale. I can now choose an exact speed for my
procs OR explicitly set the CPU governor by double clicking on the
app. This should allow me to set the CPU freq to full, then fire up
vmworkstation and my vms will not get confused as to the CPU speed.
