Description Behdad Esfahbod 2005-03-22 03:08:19 UTC
Description of problem:
The init scipt for cpuspeed should allow user to set minimum and maximum
frequency.  Pentium 4 CPUs allow scaling down to 12%, which makes them a bit
unresponsive in GUI.  I wish to be able a minimum like 500MHz for scaling.

Additional info:
This can be done by adding something like the follwoing lines before starting
the daemon:

echo MIN_FREQ > /sys/class/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
echo MAX_FREQ > /sys/class/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq

or taylored a bit to support multiple CPU systems, but IIRC cpufreq does not
support SMP yet, so this sould be enough.

Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security
updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and
reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and
hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test
release, reopen and change the version to match.

Thank you!

Still relevant.

Latest rawhide builds enable this functionality.
