I run an athlon xp-m enabled laptop and have for years now. I have gone through all the iterations of powernowd, cpufreqd, cpuspeed. One of the things that has always bothered me is I have the little cpufreq-applet on my taskbar, but I can't control the cpuspeed with it when running a frequency daemon. Today I was bored on the phone and right clicked on it, went to preferences and what do I see but the option to display and choose a scaling governor. The kernel has had the scaling governor modules for a while now and I am not sure why Fedora is still relying on the cpuspeed daemon by default. If anyone in the know could answer that question I would appreciate it. I put together some quick shell scripts to handle loading the modules and setting a default governer. Before I submitted an RFE, I wanted to get some input from you all. Attached is a tarball of the two files needed to enable the cpu governor modules on boot and set a default governor. 1) cpugov.modules goes in /etc/sysconfig/modules (needs to be executable) 2) cpugov goes in /etc/sysconfig 3) tweak /etc/sysconfig/cpugov to your liking 4) chkconfig cpuspeed off Then make sure and enable scaling governor control in your cpufreq-applet. Can't wait to get some feedback. Jon
