Hi everybody, I think this the right place to post this... Sorry if it is not.
I have tried to configure Gnome frequency selector to have properly working governors, since as someone wrote above it is generally nice to leave the "ondemand" setting do its business without worrying about it, but when battery life (on a laptop) is a premium, having the possibility to reduce the CPU speed to a fix value makes sense. I know some of you gurus will tell me that there is a way to do this from the command line... Well, ok, but that doesn't get 90% of us very far ! So, here is what I found about the Gnome frequency selector (under Feisty): If I install it without any superuser rights, I don't get to choose the frequency from the GUI (=> battery life problem) but it does vary depending on the CPU workload as it should. If I do a dpkg- reconfigure gnome-applets to give it superuser privileges, I can choose the CPU speed manually... BUT the governors, although available, do not work !! So, it's a bit cheese OR dessert, if you see what I mean. Is this because of various access rights not being what they should ?
