9 I wish to add a little note to the page linked: I echoed to /proc
10 subsystem only for testing.
11
12 After all tests I installed sys-power/powernowd,
13 modified /etc/conf.d/powernowd (to take account of niceness) and added
14 to my runlevel.
15
16 I hadn't to fiddle with /proc since then, it works like a charm: the CPU
17 is automatically set between 4 clock values depending on the load:
18 1000 , 1800 , 2000 and 2200 MHz (as you can see in my sig).
