Perhaps, but if 90% of people are running the half that do support it, then it doesn't matter too much. > To automagically detect the thing you just have to load the proper cpu > driver (a script appeared here on the list), try to load all governors > and see what happens (AFAIR ondemand barfs if the transition latency is > too high, eventually just check /sys/..../scaling_available_governors). Where would be the proper place to insert this logic? A new package? An existing one? When you say that ondemand barfs, is that detectable at the point that you try to echo something to scaling_governor? (That is, echo would return an error code?)
