If you are running some sort of userland daemon (e.g. laptop-mode) to manage power, you'll probably have a setting to change under /etc/default/ to enable your governor of choice. Otherwise, add your module to /etc/modules and your governor of choice to /etc/sysctl.conf. -- Oh, look: rocks! -- Doctor Who, Destiny of the Daleks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

The Debian way for ondemand cpufreq governor
Hi, I am able to use the 2.6 kernel ondemand cpufreq governor, but I just noticed that I have to do 'modprobe powernow-k8' and change the cpufreq governor from performance to ondemand each time after I reboot.

CPUFreq Utilities: Setting ondemand CPUFreq governor...disabled, governor not available...done. Did you the governor kernel module?. You can find this modules with: 'modprobe -l cpufreq\*'.
