I use sys-power/cpufrequtils which is a commandline tool. It installs "cpufreq-info" and "cpufreq-set". E.g. the command... cpufreq-set -r -g conservative will select the "conservative" power-governor. The "-r" tells it to set all cores (which I assume you want). If you want to get fancy, you can tweak acpid to call cpufreq-set when certain events happen; e.g. the screen is folded down, AC power is (dis)connected, etc. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
