Okay:

joelaptop [/sys/kernel/debug/dri]: cat
/sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_cur_delayinfo | grep Lowest
Lowest (RPN) frequency: 650MHz

This doesn't work for

joelaptop [/sys/kernel/debug/dri]: uname -a
Linux joelaptop 3.0.0-14-generic #23-Ubuntu SMP Mon Nov 21 20:28:43 UTC
2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Since i915_max_freq does not exist -- do I need to switch to a more
recent kernel version?

I also noted that dri/ has two subdirectories, 0 and 64. Does this mean
anything?

Best regards and thank you for your help,
Joe
