I use sys-power/cpufrequtils which is a commandline tool. It installs |
9 |
"cpufreq-info" and "cpufreq-set". E.g. the command... |
10 |
|
11 |
cpufreq-set -r -g conservative |
12 |
|

will select the "conservative" power-governor. The "-r" tells it to set |
14 |
all cores (which I assume you want). If you want to get fancy, you can |
15 |
tweak acpid to call cpufreq-set when certain events happen; e.g. the |
16 |
screen is folded down, AC power is (dis)connected, etc. |
