CPUFREQ on a Thinkpad Yoga i7 in a new Fedora 20 install

["Alan E. Davis" <lngndvs@xxxxxxxxx>]

I had a good experience, almost perfect, with Fedora some months ago, staring with the Beta of F20.  Since then I've tried several Linux distros, each of them as usual, with some issue to separate itself from the rest.  I have a new Lenovo Yoga ultrabook  and want to ruin LInux on.  I have been through 3 or 4.  So I thought, "Let's try Fedora again."

The install went well on this UEFI system, installing the other linux distros on other partitions, as well as the Windows Boot Loader, on the Grub menu.  I am happy, Fedora is awesome.

With the exception of a couple of wrinkles.

First, I cannot seem to install Jupiter or any other useful cpufrequency tool.  And with Fedora, I only see two governor options: performance, and powersave.  This is extremely frustrating.  This laptop is running an Intel i7 Mobile processor that touts a high CPU freq, but this is only in a "turbo" mode.  Other distros have picked up at least four, on this same machine.  What are the limitations I am facing here?  Kernel, modules, or the inavailability of certain packages, like Jupiter, which I am starting to like quite a lot?  

As a more general remark, Fedora 20 seems to have left a number of other packages behind as well.   

I ran into a brick wall as far as documentation on this issue, the issue about cpu frequency. 

I have now resorted to Desktop Manager roulette to try to find one that supports this.  The E17,  for example, cpufreq tool, which works fine elsewhere, does not function.

Thank you,

Alan Davis
