powerd(8), cpufreq(4) only available on amd64/i386?

I recently installed 9.1-release on a sparc64 box. One of the options in bsdinstall was to use the cpu power control. I chose to use it. So I've got # grep power /etc/rc.conf powerd_enable="YES" # which doesn't seem to work: root: /etc/rc: WARNING: failed to start powe

I've been running powerd for a while. Been running it on an ASUS B202. It brought my freq down to 100mhz when I checked on it. Stopping powerd brought the freq up to 1600, and restarting powerd brought it back to 100mhz eventually. You might need to load an ACPI module for your system.

Okay, now I am baffled. Up until this point, I wasn't using powerd on this new Atom D510 system. I ran sysctl and noticed that dev.cpu.0.freq: is actually 1249 and doesn't change no matter what kind of load the system is under. If I boot to BIOS, under BIOS CPU is shown as 1,66 Ghz.

AFAIK that processor does not support changing frequency or voltage on the fly. Your right, I also had one of those CPU. Only thig you can do is OC from BIOS. I managed to OC it at a 566 MHz stable rate; also managed to have a near 600 MHz (589 MHz) experience but was unstable as hell. _
