I have not been following this thread to closely so I apologize if this |
| 25 |
has already been mentioned. Have you considered ncpufreqd? According to |
| 26 |
the Gentoo power management guide: |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
"Toggles the used governor between performance and powersave depending |
| 29 |
on system temperature. Very useful on laptops with notorious heat |
| 30 |
problems." |
