36 I did emerge -C sys-power/cpufrequtils and then restarted gkrellm. It
37 looks like this plugin still shows P-states wich is enough for me. But
38 I haven't tried restart it yet. And also haven't tried to remerge
39 x11-plugins/gkrellm-cpufreq. It probably won't wich is sad. I
40 personally don't need user-changing of the governor, kernel default
41 ondemand governor is OK for me. I just need to see P-states in
42 real-time in gkrellm.
